Ironically, I did a piece for a hacker's list last week discussing
hitting dams. As that list frowns on having articles redistributed to
attention drawn to it, I'll xxxxx out some of it:

I'm surprised there hasn't been a big effort made to protect nuke plants. Seems like they'd be a ripe target for terrs, either by an airliner hit or just by a large armed group intrusion. -- Harmon Seaver, MLIS CyberShamanix Work 920-203-9633 hseaver@cybershamanix.com Home 920-233-5820 hseaver@cybershamanix.com http://www.cybershamanix.com/resume.html

San Onofre increased their ground security. The containment domes are spec'd to handle an airliner crash. Don't know which airliner (707 vs. 747) and how 15 tons of kerosine affect it. Chem plants, refineries & storage facilities [soft targets] all upped their walking guards. No more tours of sewage treatment plants for the public for now (really).
I'd think they'd want troops around them, not just a few more guards, who probably aren't heavily armed or combat trained. There's been some discussion on a energy list I'm on about whether the containment domes are sufficient, with some good arguement that they aren't. Here's an article on the subject: http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11514 Glad you mentioned chem plants -- that's another worry to add to the list. And to stay upwind of. David Honig wrote:
