It was considered the most dangerous place in America.
If terrorists could target one place in the nation, this would be it. Inside these gates, there was enough plutonium and uranium to kill tens of millions of people. Inside these gates, if you could breach the security, you would find the “most deadly devices ever invented” (Cameron & Lavine, 2006) by humankind.
