Top management changes at WSI after Y-12 security breach

This unprecedented security breach rings of Sci-Fi….I still cannot wrap my brain around the facts as presented by the DOE! My hopes would be for the DOE to totally “clean house” of anyone involved with security at this mentioned location. Is WSI the “only” security contractor? What about the military? Maybe as an interim security force?! To me, this breach is unforgivable. In my mind, too many “what ifs” come into play!

Susie,

Your post is the first I’ve seen that recognizes the ludicrous reports by DOE and their spokes people. In my opinion they are lying. First of all, They are saying they cut three fences and tripped alarms and that the Special Response Team did not get them until after they reached the HEUMF and vandalized the bldg. Secondly, no one has picked up on the fact that one of the intruders reports they were challenged by a Security Police Officer and he called for back up. They say The HEUMF is impenetrable. I watched a video on the internet about the HEUMF at Y-12 and see a vulnerability to gain entry into the HEUMF. A trained team would exploit this. A young, trained team would have reached the target in half the time of the intruders. They may not have got out, but they could have caused a criticality. The alarms DID NOT WORK! The cameras DID NOT WORK. Why were assessments of the PIDAS not done to prevent this. I reported many vulnerabilities to Col Clements and Gary Brandon, in my opinion, their only concern was to terminate my employment for going outside the chain of command. Y-12 security has a history of not complying with DOE policies and procedures. No one is ever held accountable for their incompetence. Employees who commit outrageous acts including theft are allowed to resign with out any accountability. These managers will be reassigned without any lose of income or position. Y-12 enrichment was shut down for over a year by the DNFSB for blatant wide spread non compliance. This is what they learned from that incident. Why were the intruders not detected by the towers on each corner? Were they sleeping? Were they manned? Why were the towers removed from the ridge as a line of defense?
