Description

Barry Leonard (ed.). Security guards at only 1 out of 4 nuclear power plants are confident their plant could defeat a terrorist attack. The guards say morale is very low & that they are under-equipped, under-manned, & underpaid. Discusses the guards’ major concerns, including the lack of guidance on the use of deadly force. Guards are currently restricted from using deadly force unless an intruder is wielding a weapon or threatening the life of an individual. Since 9/11, the NRC has done little to bolster security at the power plants. In addition to security guards, the following were interviewed: Army & Navy Special Forces personnel who conduct force-on-force tests, current & former NRC & other officials, a Nat. Guard commander, & contractors.
