 Nuclear - Page 22 - Duke Power
Inside, at the end of his daily shift, security guard Jeff Johnson, a 35-year-old ex-Marine, sits down to play a serious board game that he says is "like chess." It's supposed to hone the ability of plant guards to assess and defend against an attack.
The game, the signs in the river and the curving driveway are among the ad hoc measures that owners of the 103 commercial nuclear-power reactors operating in the U.S. have been forced to take to deal with the threat of terrorist attacks since Sept. 11.
For example, officials at Peach Bottom say they could minimize the damage from some types of attack by performing a "scram," which shuts down the reactors within five seconds.

 BuzzFlash News Analysis: Was Flight 93 Shot Down Over Pennsylvania? If So, Was It Because The Hijackers Were Targeting ...
BuzzFlash has followed the events surrounding Flight 93, the United Airlines 757 that crashed in Pennsylvania, since the September 11 attacks and a number of theories have emerged over how and why that hijacked plane went down in a wooded area near Stony Creek Township, in south central Pennsylvania.
Tom Ridge, in his pre-Homeland Security position as Governor of Pennsylvania, reacted to a post September 11 threat (which turned out to be a hoax) by installing a National Guard defensive perimeter around the state's nuclear facilities.
Additionally, Flight 93's debris field covered anywhere from three to six miles and, as CNN reported, pieces of the plane were found six to eight miles from the main impact area: "Authorities also said another debris site had been cordoned off six to eight miles away from the original crash debris site."
