Pantex Plant activated its Emergency Response Organization at 8 a.m. Friday in response to a possible security situation. Pantex employees were moved to a safe location.
Police were on the scene and said there was no danger to the public.

The Pantex Plant is a nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility.
