CLINTON – Clinton nuclear power plant’s security is “virtually impenetrable,” according to Communications Director Brett Nauman. He told WJBC’s Terry James this after news in the wake of the attacks in Brussels that ISIS had been targeting nuclear plants as well.

“Other security industries, they look at nuclear power plants and they try to model what we do,” said Nauman. “It’s very enhanced security out at the Clinton nuclear power plant.”

Nauman said there is a “large force” of armed paramilitary personnel on site.

“We have what’s called ‘defense in depth.’ And what that means is there are multiple layers of security systems in place to make sure that the nuclear power plant does operate safely,” he said.

Nauman added although you can drive up to some of the non-essential buildings, the buildings which are most vital are heavily guarded.
