Protestors' Dress Style Changes; Message Doesn't

Photo - Greenpeace organized a mass anti-nuclear protest at the entrance to the Test SiteThe nuclear testing program has generated a lot of publicity during its 42-year history. Much of the publicity has not been kind to the thousands of Nevada Test Site employees.

Numerous anti-nuclear activists have vented their anger at the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessors, the Atomic Energy Commission, Energy Research and Development Administration.

While their message "stop nuclear testing" has not changed over the years, the delivery of that message and the attire of the nuclear activists have changed.

Countless activists have confronted Test Site public affairs officers and security officials in Las Vegas and at the Nevada Test Site. Fortunately, there have been no serious injuries during the incidents.
