Plant Security
The nuclear energy industry is one of the nation’s safest industries.
It is protected by multiple back-up safety systems, robust physical
defenses and plant security forces with rigorous training. Since the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the industry has continued to improve its
safety systems to prepare for emerging threats, such the impact of a
wide-bodied commercial airliner and cyber attacks. Each U.S. nuclear
power plant is equipped with extensive security measures to protect the
facility from intruders and to protect the public from the possibility
of exposure to radioactive releases caused by acts of sabotage. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) calls nuclear power plants “among the best-protected private sector facilities in the nation.”http://www.nei.org/Key-Issues/safetyandsecurity/plantsecurity
