US nuclear security overhaul ordered following 'incidents'

I wonder if they know more than they are telling us???? Such an "incident" would be sufficient to trigger the FEMA protocols....

US Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham ordered an overhaul of security at the nation's nuclear weapons laboratories, following charges his department might not be doing enough to prevent terrorists from getting hold of materials needed to build a "dirty bomb."

"The Department of Energy views security as the critical responsibility of the national laboratories, and we treat any lapse or failure as significant," Abraham said.

He said he had directed Linton Brooks, head of the National Nuclear Security Administration, to launch "a comprehensive security overhaul," putting in place any immediate changes he deemed necessary.

"In light of recent security incidents at the labs, the administrator's plan for improved security must be aggressive and far-reaching, and must ensure greater accountability and confidence that corrective action will occur," said Abraham.
