NUCLEAR TRANSIT
ON THE HIGHWAYS
A PRIMER
BY
DATA LINE
- ***************************************************************************
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 ahemistry.
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. The ride 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
hazardous 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 atta#k. 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 attack, I can't really say what will hn be-
cause I don't know. Speculating, I believe the Army's response 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 c sehis is soe
siou shit. TheNational Emrgny omand Alet Post (NECP, a.k.a

The terrorists wouldn't have a chance in hell. Detonating a bomb would
probably wipe ou the entire unch of asholes and hey wouldn'thave

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.
You know how to get hold of me, I'm sure.
