Apparently from first reports there were armed hunters in the area??? Seems as though they are on alert for this type of intrusion.

“They did have it locked down,” said an official at the Texas Department of Public Safety, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “There was no security breach. It was purely a precautionary measure.”
According to the Texas official, the plant was locked down because there were armed hunters on property adjacent to it. “They had some duck hunters out there,” the official said. Plant officials later determined the hunters were not a threat, the official said.
The Pantex Plant maintains the safety, security and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile and is managed and operated by Babcock and Wilcox for the U.S. Department of Energy.
“Pantex is responding to a concern reported by Pantex employees,” Steve Erhart, Pantex Site Office Manager, said in a statement. “Pantex Plant security is in control of the situation. Plant management is monitoring the ongoing response.”
After thought ~
Who wants to hunt/kill ducks and eat them when they hang around a nuclear plant? DUH

They last as long as RAYOVAC and other high end batteries and cost 1/2 as much.
Not very patriotic, is the old curmudgeon...
