Watchdog group: Oak Ridge uranium a security risk
<snip> A government watchdog group says at least one stockpile stored at ORNL is a major concern to them. <snip>

POGO believes that the material could be turned quickly by an invading force into a low grade weapon in a matter of minutes.

POGO spokeswoman Daniell Brian claims "The Oak Ridge National Lab isn't currently set up to handle this type of security issue with these materials. They haven't had a security plan since 1997, they are depending on Y-12 to save them if something happens." <snip>
