Nuclear Power Plants Are Well Protected
09 February 2007
PANTAGRAPH.COM (WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Nuclear power plants are the nation's best-defended industrial facilities, in no small part because plant owners recognize that these facilities are vital to our nation's domestic energy supply and protect them accordingly. Since 2001, the industry has spent more than $1.5 billion on improving commercial nuclear plant security. We have increased the number of security officers by 60 percent to a total of 8,000 officers; increased the size and numbers of defensive weapons systems; extended plant security perimeters; increased the intensity of training, including ``force-on-force'' mock terrorism drills.
