I have worked at that site. I always wondered if it was vulnerable.
Aiken SC is just across the river from the Augusta Golf Course, home of the Masters. They better not screw that venue up.

Did they discover something they didn’t expect?
For those of us in other parts of the country, what is the Savannah River Site?

Southern Company, parent company for Georgia Power releases statement:
Monday, August 17, 2015
WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW) — Southern Company, the parent company for Georgia Power who runs Plant Vogtle, released a statement saying:
“Southern Nuclear’s top priority remains the safety and health of the public and our employees. Nuclear energy facilities are the most secure civilian industrial facilities in the nation with many layers of security measures in place at each facility, which includes the security checkpoint at the entrance to our plant. We have no plans to make any changes to our current security measures.”
A Coke truck was entering H Area to service vending machines. During a routine inspection a bomb sniffing dog alerted on the truck. A second dog was brought in and it also alerted. That was enough to put the site on lock down. No traffic was allowed in or out of the barricades for a couple of hours. Also everyone in H Area had to remain indoors. No travel between building was allowed.
Possible explosive materials at the site were reported around 2:30 p.m. after electronic and canine scans of a vendor delivery truck indicated a possibility of explosive material on the truck.
The incident led to the site being placed in a lockdown mode, which prohibited anyone from entering the site and barricades were also set up to prevent incoming traffic.
At 5:52 p.m. on Monday, an “all clear was given and the site returned to normal activities at 5:52 p.m.,” SRS officials wrote in a final update.
