A four-month ABC News investigation to air tonight will report the discovery of “gaping security holes” at many of the nuclear research reactors on 25 college campuses across the country, including the one operating at UW-Madison.
Among other things, the report says that students working undercover for ABC were able to gain access to high-security areas with no background checks, while carrying large tote bags that were not inspected. Those alleged security breaches were documented at the University of Florida, UW-Madison, Purdue University and Ohio State University, according to the report. Different problems involving security were identified at Texas A&M University and MIT.
