Henry said the majority of remaining WSI employees would go to work for NSPS, which won the DOE protective force contract in January. Those who don’t are leaving the company, retiring, or taking “other opportunities,” Henry said. More than 500 WSI Oak Ridge employees had earlier started working for B&W Y-12, the company that manages and operates Y-12.
B&W Y-12 took over the security guard force at the 811-acre plant last fall after the unprecedented security breach, which led to federal investigations, staff reassignments and retirements, and congressional hearings. In a recent letter to the Oak Ridge community, WSI Oak Ridge general manager Steve Hafner said the company had stumbled in accomplishing its mission. “We regret the circumstances of the July 28 security incident and take responsibility for our role in the event,” Hafner said. “However, we believe this incident does not define us as a company and does not erase the more than 50 years of excellent service we have given DOE across the country.”ĭuring the July 28 security breach, three anti-nuclear weapons activists sneaked into Y-12 before dawn, cut through three fences in a high-security Protected Area, and splashed human blood and spray-painted slogans on the $549 million Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility, where bomb-grade uranium is stored.
