A NUCLEAR arms factory was forced to abandon expansion work yesterday after peace activists blocked its entrance.
Anti-nuclear activists stopped traffic from accessing the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) site in Burghfield, Berkshire.
The Action AWE protesters lay down on the road for over four hours, preventing several trucks with building materials from entering the factory.
