I recall that as a child our family drove right onto the property ar Peach Bottom Generating Station. Dad had worked in the power industry so was perfectly comfy showing us all the buildings and machinery, even though he had not worked at that plant. It was like the modern equivalent of taking your kid down to the roundhouse and showing him the steam engines.
I sure hope that this article isn’t made readily available to some goat-loving radical Muslim terrorist group!
Yikes, we’d be screwed.
Security Oversight or ‘plausible deniabilty’?
Wouldn't be surprised, if "Bathhouse", wants an attack..either way, he wins:
just the abject fear of an attack..score for "Bathhouse"
attack by terrorists, failed..score by"Bathhouse"
attack by terrorists, successful..score by "Bathhouse"
(why should he care? he's got SS protection)
either way, it's Martial Law time, after engendering such fear of an attack..real or imagined..of course;
the blame shall be on a nebulous foe, "Conservatives"..never a Muslim group, if evidence is found.
That’s not how the nuke plants are around here.
They still run mirrors under all of the vehicles. Every vehicle gets checked. All the perimeter guards are armed with AR type rifles.
I guess he doesn't get around much.
The most lax security in this nation is rail transportation. Anyone who wants to can go to any railroad crossing in any major city in the US and blow up a few rail cars carrying any number of dangerous chemicals and kill hundreds and cause the evacuation of thousands.
Oil refineries and chemical plants have little more than a single guard at a single access gate and have on site huge quantities of dangerous chemicals.
This author is either totally uniformed on the subject of industrial security or is simply trying to garner attention for himself.
Probably a grant seeker.
fta... Yet according to experts, a visible security presence is vital, because it may deter terrorists from targeting a facility in the first place. “Part of security is to have a visible defense so that it doesn’t attract adversaries who might see this kind of weakness to exploit,”

Same level of security the Obama admin. has refused to employ on the Southern border to prevent terriorists.
Let the muzzie terrorists try. They WILL fail.
So they went and saw the “Visitor’s Center” I hope they took in the nifty displays there. Did they get into the control room? Did they even make it past the security gate?
What exactly do they think a terrorist would do 500 feet from the reactor building? Launch a rocket propelled grenade? The Reactor building is a few feet of reinforced concrete. The building can withstand a 747 flying into it.
This is kinda like that idiot Jack Anderson when he wrote about the number of Nuke Plant that went “Critical” every year. A little bit of knowledge is dangerous.
Personally I don’t believe ISIS would be stupid enough to make us again the most powerful nation on Earth by destroying Washington, D.C.
Obama has invited such attacks in the US by opening our borders, allowing political correctness to prevent a serious hunt for terrorist suspects and treating terrorists as petty criminals to be dealt with by law enforcement and the US courts. Someone needs to tell Obama that militant Islam declared war on the US more than a decade ago.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
I know someone who works at Calvert Cliffs. Like the lady said, there is much more to their security than meets the eye and this person could not and did not reveal any of it.
But I wonder about the bigger planes built after the 727. Can the plant withstand an attack from a jumbo jet?
