Nun, Two Others, Break Into US Nuke Site

Busting through the security gates at the country's only weapons-grade uranium processing facility, cutting through fences, writing on walls, and throwing "human blood" around, it's... a nun!

After doing all this, the group of three "activists" (aged from 57-82) were arrested in Oak Ridge, Tennessee on Wednesday. 

Now the three people, among them an 82-year-old-nun, are in custody and the facility is temporarily closed until some time next week. "It is unbelievable this could happen," says a former congressional investigator. 

"If they were terrorists, they could have blown open the door and got inside." The trio reportedly made their way through four fences and walked for "over two hours" to get to the building, notes Reuters. A fellow activist says the group's intention was not to "show how easy it was to bust into this bomb plant" but to protest the production of nuclear weapons.
