"A three-year veil of secrecy in the name of national security was used to keep the public in the dark about the handling of highly enriched uranium at a nuclear fuel processing plant – including a leak that could have caused a deadly, uncontrolled nuclear reaction….The public was never told about the problems when they happened. …In 2004, the government became so concerned about releasing nuclear secrets that the commission removed more than 1,740 documents from its public archive – even some that apparently involved basic safety violations at the company, which operates a 65-acre gated complex in tiny Erwin, about 120 miles north of Knoxville."
