Nuclear material doesn't magically appear at plants that make missiles and
|
|||
|
|
bombs. It has to be transported by truck or train. The media has seen fit to
|
|||
|
|
portray a totally false picture of the security surrounding the operation.
|
|||
|
|
Getting enriched Uranium or Plutonium is seen as marginally difficult, just
|
|||
|
|
force a lone semi off the road and loot it. I hope to give the true picture of
|
|||
|
|
the task and of the equipment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This report has been compiled with the help (knowing and unknowing) of the US
|
|||
|
|
Department of Energy, the APCO Journal, and a source in FEMA.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Locations
|
|||
|
|
-------------
|
|||
|
|
Oak Ridge,TN. Union Carbide runs a Uranium enrichment plant here. It has a
|
|||
|
|
sister complex in Paducah Ky that makes Uranium Hexafluoride,
|
|||
|
|
a deadly gas that is sometimes transported on the Interstates.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Amarillo,TX. The most dangerous city on earth. A little known factory, the
|
|||
|
|
Pantex Company, takes the enriched fissionable materials and
|
|||
|
|
assembles them into warheads. The equipment is vintage 1950.
|
|||
|
|
Accidents are unheard of. They may happen, but the press
|
|||
|
|
sure never gets word of them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Albuquerque,
|
|||
|
|
NM. Sandia National Labs, under contract to the Depatment of Ener-
|
|||
|
|
gy, performs research on weapons and radioactive materials.
|
|||
|
|
Kirkland AFB, communications command center for the DOE is
|
|||
|
|
also located here.
|
|||
|
|
San Francisco,
|
|||
|
|
CA. Lawrence Livermore Lab also performs research on the more
|
|||
|
|
classified aspects of nuclear chemistry.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Chicago, IL. Argonne Labs research "peaceful" applications of highly
|
|||
|
|
radioactive metals and gases. Sure thing...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Joplin, MO. The largest contractor of freight-hauling for DOE is based
|
|||
|
|
in the Southwestern tip of MO. I'd like to take a tour of
|
|||
|
|
Tri-State Motor Transit (TSMT) sometime. I'd also like an
|
|||
|
|
unescorted day in the Pentagon. I have as much chance at
|
|||
|
|
getting either one.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Transit Process.
|
|||
|
|
--------------------
|
|||
|
|
a surprise in store. The actual drivers are heavily armed, excellently
|
|||
|
|
trained DOE Special Couriers. Th ride 2 to a spelly equipped sem 2 ormi's and 4
|
|||
|
|
to 5 support vehicles to a convoy. The support staff also consists of Couriers
|
|||
|
|
in a variety of vehicles. Most of the time they include a Motorhome, a Suburban
|
|||
|
|
(armored) and possibly a station wagon or two. If a cop tries to pull over a
|
|||
|
|
semi, the entire convoy pulls over. A courier in the offending vehicle uses the
|
|||
|
|
PA to announce the nature of the convoy, and will exit the truck if requested.
|
|||
|
|
The driver NEVER exits.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Spotting a Convoy
|
|||
|
|
-----------------
|
|||
|
|
The actual semi's are usually unmarked (DOE-owned), or are turquoise with
|
|||
|
|
regular silver trailers that may bear the logo TSMT. In NO case will they bear
|
|||
|
|
a yellow & black "Radioactive" Placard. DOE vehicles bear a single license tag,
|
|||
|
|
blue on white, that starts with an "E". The semi's have what appears to be a
|
|||
|
|
luggage rack on the top. This is an antenna. They may stop at Weigh stations,
|
|||
|
|
but will be waved on through.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Weapons
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
Couriers are trained in use of the standard issue M-16, the M-60, and the LAW
|
|||
|
|
rocket. They carry at least that amount of weapons with them, and possibly the
|
|||
|
|
new Viper Antitank weapon. Other items include gas (BZ, CS) and maybe a few
|
|||
|
|
goodies from the Farm... Their training in Colorado Springs, CO. takes about 3
|
|||
|
|
months and covers everything from evasive driving with a 130,000 pound armored
|
|||
|
|
tractor-trailer to recovery of fissionable material from adversaries to
|
|||
|
|
emergency field evacuation and containment. Their trucks are probably the best
|
|||
|
|
weapons. DOE-owned vehicles, used for the most az ardous materials (transit of
|
|||
|
|
old warheads for reconditioning) are totally covered by a classified thickness
|
|||
|
|
of nickel or aluminium armor (That's right, Aluminium in an alloy form with
|
|||
|
|
other metals). The trailers are rigged with nozzles that will envelop a
|
|||
|
|
terrorist who manages to open the doors with a mountain of fast-hardening urea
|
|||
|
|
(insulating) foam, suffocating him and hiding the warhead/Plutonium with a thick
|
|||
|
|
coat of the stuff.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Forget it.
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
The condition of each truck on the road is updated by couriers every 15
|
|||
|
|
minutes by Shortwave to the Command Post in NM. The transmissions are in
|
|||
|
|
encrypted digital bursts on 11.555, 7.700 and 3.335 MHz, USB. Rarely you
|
|||
|
|
can hear the base speak with a Courier. Intra-convoy communications are
|
|||
|
|
handled with low-power VHF radios on 164.375 and 164.225 MHz. They were
|
|||
|
|
duped by those shitheads at Motorola into buying Digital Voice protection,
|
|||
|
|
a scrambling system. Granted, you can't understand what they're saying
|
|||
|
|
(probably stuff like "Wanna eat at Denny's or go to the Truck Stop?").
|
|||
|
|
Basic SIGINT still tells you that prescence of ANY transmissions means a
|
|||
|
|
convoy is close. Listen for what sounds like a squelch burst and a tone
|
|||
|
|
at the end, that's the DVP.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If a trouble signal is transmitted to the CP, a number of things happen.
|
|||
|
|
First, the dispatcher attempts to reach the convoy by SW to find the nature of
|
|||
|
|
the problem; accident, out of beer, or terrorist attack. The first re- sponse
|
|||
|
|
will bring out an EOD team from the nearest Army base and added Albuquerque.
|
|||
|
|
They contact the respective State Police agency for local coordination. In case
|
|||
|
|
of k, I can't really say what will hn be- cause I don't know. Speculating, Ieve
|
|||
|
|
the Army rponse will be much greater. Instead of MP's, combat troops will be
|
|||
|
|
airlifted along with the Decon. and Emergency Ordnance Disposal troops. State
|
|||
|
|
police will also flood the area and seal if off, with local units merely
|
|||
|
|
handling roadblocks at the perimeters. Any non-authorized (non-government)
|
|||
|
|
aircraft passing near the area will be either escorted out by the TAC, or be
|
|||
|
|
downed. This includes news media choppers. NEST (Nuclear Emergency Search
|
|||
|
|
Team) will be called at once to aid in locating possibly contaminated areas and
|
|||
|
|
assist in finding any missing fissionable material. If an intact warhead is
|
|||
|
|
found to be missing, a national state of emergency will be declared until the
|
|||
|
|
situation is re- solved. This means a callup of National Guard and the
|
|||
|
|
Reserves, as well as placing all active military personnel on full alert. It
|
|||
|
|
also means that various civil rights will be curtailed and curfews set. This is
|
|||
|
|
some serious shit. The National Emergency Command Alert Post (NECAP, a.k.a.
|
|||
|
|
The Flying White House) will become active, as well ALL U.S. Military Personnel
|
|||
|
|
throughout the world (This would, after all, be a good time for the Soviets to
|
|||
|
|
pull some tricks since we'd be rather busy at home).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The terrorists wouldn't have a chance in hell. Detonating a bomb would
|
|||
|
|
probably wipe out the entire bunch of assholes and they wouldn't have gained
|
|||
|
|
anything. A good negotiator would stretch the ordeal out so that our marksmen
|
|||
|
|
would get in a shot. Or more likely, they would evacuate the area (There'd be
|
|||
|
|
way to simply drive off with the bomb as the Couriers' first job should be to
|
|||
|
|
eliminate all means of escape from the area). Per- sonally, I'd use poison gas
|
|||
|
|
or BZ. It's nonthreatening, safer than shooting and silent as well as highly
|
|||
|
|
effective and not a big dramatic finish to inspire another bunch of shitheads to
|
|||
|
|
be crucified for "the cause" in front of America. I doubt if the group would
|
|||
|
|
ever be identi- fied or their true demands known. A large number of both real
|
|||
|
|
terrorists (e.g. FALN, M-19, Animal rights and splinter anti-abortion factions)
|
|||
|
|
and Intelligence (CIA and DOE) created groups would claim responsibility so the
|
|||
|
|
organizations would see how unproductive pulling such a stunt would be in the
|
|||
|
|
future - no exclusive media attention means no gain.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note to any Federal agency who gets hold of this. I want to work for DOE
|
|||
|
|
intelligence. All of this is put together from unclassified sources. If it's
|
|||
|
|
good enough to get me in trouble, wouldn't you agree I'd be good to have working
|
|||
|
|
for your organization?? Think of this as a Resume.
