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.

Two thoughts:

1. The unmanned guard booth was probably an abandoned relic of a security plan that existed before HD cameras were available.

2. The utility probably kept it in place so that if there was ever a major event, they could man it to keep the media out.

Notice the lefty academic failed to cite a violation of any particular security rule - he and the willing and eager “reporter” simply dropped ominous vague hints. Surprised the “reporter” bothered to mention the actual distance from their deepest “penetration” to the reactor.
