<p>US nuclear weapons convoy drivers have been arrested for being drunk and getting involved in bar brawls during their overnight stops, a report has revealed.</p>
<p>The US Energy Department&#8217;s watchdog said it reviewed 16 alcohol-related incidents involving government agents, candidates and others from the government&#8217;s Office of Secure Transportation (OST) between 2007 and 2009.</p>
<p>There are nearly 600 federal agents who move nuclear weapons, weapon components and special nuclear material across the US.</p>
<p>The report said that two incidents in particular caused alarm because they happened during &#8220;secure transportation missions&#8221; while agents checked into local hotels during extended missions, and the vehicles were placed in &#8220;safe harbour&#8221;.</p>
<p>One of those occurred in 2007, when an agent was arrested for being drunk in public; the other happened last year when police handcuffed and detained two agents after an incident at a local bar.</p>
<p>&#8220;Alcohol incidents such as these, as infrequent as they may be, indicate a potential vulnerability in OST&#8217;s critical national security mission,&#8221; the report warned.</p>
<p>The report recommended that officials consider actions such as a &#8220;zero tolerance&#8221; policy for alcohol incidents.</p>
<p>Current guidelines call for alcohol testing at least once a year and when reasonable suspicion of alcohol exists, a ban on consuming alcohol within 10 hours before work and sending home agents who have been drinking.</p>
