INkundla yeziBheno izishiyile izigwebo zokona zabalwela uxolo uGreg-Boertje-Obed, waseDuluth, Min., kunye nabamangalelwa kunye naye uMichael Walli waseWashington, DC, kunye noSr. Megan Rice weSixeko saseNew York. I-6th INkundla yeSibheno yeSekethe yafumanisa ukuba abatshutshisi bomdibaniso basilele ukubonisa ubungqina - kwaye "akukho nkundla inengqondo inokufunyanwa" - ukuba aba bathathu babejonge ukonakalisa "ukhuselo lwesizwe."
NgoJulayi ka-2012, uGreg, uMichael kunye noMegan banqumla iingcingo ezine kwaye baya ngqo kwi-"Fort Knox" ye-uranium yezinga lezixhobo, i-Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility ngaphakathi kwe-Y-12 complex e-Oak Ridge, e-Tenn. ibeka i-"H" kwiibhombu zethu ze-H. Ngeeyure ezintathu ngaphambi kokuba zibonwe, abacimi bezixhobo zenyukliya bapeyinta "Yeha kuBukhosi beGazi" kunye nezinye iziqulatho kwizakhiwo ezininzi, iibhanile ezixhonyiweyo, kwaye babhiyozele ithamsanqa labo ekubambeni inkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya elele kwivili. Xa ekugqibeleni umlindi wadibana nabo, bamnika isonka.
Baye bagwetywa ngoMeyi ka-2013 ngokonakalisa impahla kunye nokonakalisa kwaye bavalelwe ukususela ngoko. UBoertji-Obed, 59, kunye noWalli, 66, bobabini bagwetywe iinyanga ezingama-62 kwisigwebo ngasinye, ukuba baqhube ngaxeshanye; kunye no-Sr. Megan, oneminyaka engama-82, wanikwa iinyanga ezingama-35 kwibalo ngalinye, naye eqhuba ngaxeshanye.
Imibuzo malunga nobume bomthetho bezixhobo zenyukliya ibingengomtsalane, kodwa ibingumba wokuba ingaba uMthetho weSabotage uyasebenza na kubaqhankqalazi boxolo abangonakalisiyo izixhobo. Ebudeni bengxoxo yesibheno, umtshutshisi wagxininisa kwelokuba aba bantu bathathu “baye baphazamisa ukuzithethelela.” Umgwebi weSekethe uRaymond Kethledge wabuza ngokungqalileyo, “Ngelofu yesonka?”
Uluvo olubhaliweyo lweNkundla, nonguJaji uKethledge, luhlekisa ngombono wokuchaza abaqhankqalazi abanoxolo njengababhubhisi. “Akwanelanga ukuba urhulumente athethe ngocingo olusikiweyo...” Urhulumente kufuneka angqine ukuba izenzo zommangalelwa “zezenziwe ngengqiqo okanye ngokuqinisekileyo” ziphazamisana “namandla esizwe okulwa imfazwe okanye ukukhusela kuhlaselo.” UGreg, uMegan noMichael, inkundla yathi, “akenzanga nto injalo,” ngaloo ndlela, “urhulumente akazange abonise abamangalelwa benetyala lokonakaliswa.” Uluvo lwaya kuthi ga ngoku, "Akukho nkundla inengqondo inokufumanisa ukuba abamangalelwa babenaloo njongo xa besika iingcingo." Inqaku elothusayo alinasimilo ngokothusayo kwintsingiselo yalo ethe ngqo yokufikelela ngokugqithisileyo komtshutshisi kunye nokuqhatha ijaji.
Esinye isizathu sokuba iNkundla yeziBheno iye yasishiya isigwebo sokonakalisa yayisesokuba inkcazo esemthethweni yeNkundla ePhakamileyo “yokhuselo lwesizwe” ayicacanga kwaye ayichanekanga, “ingqikelelo eqhelekileyo yeentsingiselo ezibanzi…” INkundla ithe idinga ingcaciso “ebambekayo ngakumbi” kuba, “ayicacanga. amazwi amnandi malunga 'nendima ebalulekileyo yecandelo kukhuseleko lwesizwe' akwanelanga ukugwebela ummangalelwa ngokonakalisa. Kwaye yiyo yonke loo nto urhulumente abonelela ngayo apha. ” Le nkcazelo yayiqhelekile kwaye ingacacanga, iNkundla yathi, ayisebenzi kuMthetho weSabhotage, kuba, “Kunzima ukumisela ukuba yiyiphi imilinganiselo 'yokuphazamisa' 'ingcamango eqhelekileyo'.”
Ukugwetywa kwakhona kunokukhokelela "kwixesha elisetyenzisiweyo" kunye nokukhululwa
INkundla yathatha inyathelo elongezelelweyo nelingaqhelekanga lokuvala izigwebo zentolongo ngenxa yokonakalisa kunye nomonakalo-ku-pro.pert izigwebo, nangona ukugwetyelwa okuncinci kusekho. Oku kwakungenxa yokuba izigwebo eziqatha zasentolongweni ezinikezelwe ngomonakalo wepropathi zazinobunzima obukhulu ngenxa yesigwebo (esifunyenwe ngokungekho mthethweni) sokona. Isiphumo sesokuba aba bathathu be-radical pacifists baya kuphinda bagwetywe kwaye banokukhululwa. Njengoko iNkundla yeziBheno yatshoyo: “Kubonakala ngathi [isigwebo] … ngenxa [yokonakala kwempahla] ukugwetywa kwabo kuya kuba ngaphantsi kakhulu kunexesha abasele bevalelwe elugcinweni lomanyano.”
Ukuba umtshutshisi womanyano akaceli mngeni ekujikisweni kwenzondelelo yakhe egqithisileyo, kwaye enye inkundla ephezulu ayilujiki umva u-6.th Isigqibo seSekethe, aba bathathu banokukhululwa ngoJulayi okanye kungekudala.
Ubume obuphezulu bokutyetyiswa kwe-uranium e-Oak Ridge, kunye nokuba sesichengeni kwesiza kubantu abadala, kwazisa ingqalelo enkulu yeendaba kweli tyala, elithe laboniswa kuphando olude yiWashington Post, iNew Yorker kunye nabanye. Isenzo, esaziwa ngokuba “ziNguquko ngoku zeZahlulo zokulima,” sikwancede ukutyhila ukuziphatha kakubi okulihlazo kunye nobubi phakathi kweekontraka zokhuseleko eY-12/Oak Ridge complex. Ngokuphikisanayo kwaye ngokuxakayo, aba bantu balwela uxolo phantse ngokuqinisekileyo balomeleza ukhuselo lwelizwe.
Eyona nto ihleli ingonakaliswanga sisicwangciso se-White House sokuchitha i-1 yetriliyoni yeedola kumaziko okuvelisa izixhobo ezitsha kule minyaka ingama-30 izayo-i-35 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ngonyaka kumashumi amathathu eminyaka. Indima ye-Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility kule mveliso yeBomb - ukuphulwa okucacileyo kweSivumelwano seNuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty - yaqanjwa ngegazi ngesenzo sePlowshares, kodwa ishishini le-H-bhomu liqhubela phambili. Abaqhankqalazi baya kudibana kwisiza kwakhona ngo-Agasti 6.
