Feds Update Nuclear Power Plant Security Regulations
29 January 2007

NCTIMES (WASHINGTON) - On January 29, 2007, US Federal government ordered nuclear power plant operators to ratchet up security to protect against terrorist attacks by land vehicles, boats and computers -- but declined to require protection against attacks from the sky. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission decided against ordering security measures against attacks like the ones carried out by al-Qaida terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001, because protection against airborne threats was the responsibility of the military and other agencies.
