New nuclear plants to protect against jet strikes

Editor’s note: the following confirms part of the story related by an Indiana county municipal official about the attempts by FEMA and DHS to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan. Included in the plan was the “hardening” of fire and police stations. According to the official, FEMA and DHS used hardened nuclear plants as an example. See D. H. Williams, Is FEMA & DHS preparing for mass graves and martial law near Chicago?.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted Tuesday to require any future nuclear power plants to be designed to withstand strikes from commercial jetliners, addressing a possible terrorist scenario that has haunted some people since the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Citizen activists have sought such a rule since the attacks, saying the consequences of an air assault would be catastrophic.
But industry officials and some commission members opposed the requirement, contending that the probability of any such attack is small and the costs of the protection would be prohibitive.
Consequently, the resulting rule contains language that is subject to interpretation, and debates over the steps nuclear power plant designers must take are likely.
Nonetheless, people on both sides of the debate declared victory Tuesday.
“This decision will go a long way toward protecting Americans from the horrific possibility that terrorists could target our nuclear plants with large aircraft,” said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Massachusetts. “This ruling may have come later than I would have wanted, but it will certainly help keep our cities and towns safe from a catastrophic attack.”

Is anyone else besides myself, absolutely sick and tired of the relentless fear-mongering that gets shoved down our throats so often by our illustrious government entities?? I mean enough already with this “hardening” crap that seems to be a new buzz-word and where does it end…are they going to “harden” any and every government building just in case some “boogeyman” decides they’re going to fly or drive something into it?? Geez, as if the government has nothing better to do these days than sit around and think this crap up, and I wonder how much tax payer money is being spent to pay the fools that do so??? Too many politicians, too many laws and evidently…too much idle time on their hands.

I think we all are… THE BOMBARDMENT MUST BE SHATTERED BY EXPOSURE!

“Hardening”…..hahaha what a joke!….anyone who thinks they are safe, think again , …if they are determined to destroy something,….they will…so when the s--- hits the fan …just don’t be near a target ..use your head ..look around ,have an escape plan …have food @ fuel ….be ready to split at a moments notice..think like the wolf …..sheeple!

“Think like the wolf” Yeah, good advice, Ed, I like it.

Most of the nuclear power plants have done this already. Oakridge has been built to with stand plane crashes. I once saw a bumper sticker that said in the time it takes to cook toast, we are all toast Oakridge, Tenn. Okaridge is where “The Bomb” was built. I live in western NC so if this place goes up we are Toast. What about the mass graaves? Don’t you think that the area that has a nuclear desaster that rescue would be impossible due to radiation. So why worry about this mass grave thing. If you can you get well away from that area and let nature do its thing.

I see a lot of fear on these posts and others like it. Fear left a long time ago for me. I have the “contraversial” belief that there is a God in heaven. What makes me not fear is this belief. We are human beings and we are so confined to our 3 dimensional thinking that we cannot imagine much of the concept of God yet alone God himself. We all choose what to believe and many will disagree with me but I do want to point out a point or two and would love your feedback on this.
If all that is feared is truly what is going to happen than nowhere is safe. The U.S. seems to be the worst place to be when all “hell” breaks loose. Do you really think saving up water and ammo is going to save you? We are out gunned out manned and outresourced. Where is the proactive approach? I personally believe we have the power right here and right now to change this all if people know, they will react. 90% of everything I read is based off of fear. Very few saying we need to work together and stop this before it happens. If you think its a lost cause than what does anyone have to lose by giving their life to God? Again, what you believe in is a choice.
If you believe the worst is going to happen and there is little we can do about it and you do not believe in God than what else is there? Hiding in a hole somewhere armed to the teeth and if the blasts, the radiation or the chemicals don’t kill ya than the rest of your life should be a walk in the park right? I read posts everyday and most just seem to be lost. Some angry, some said and everyone scrambling to find answers. I open my Bible and its like watching the 10:00 news. Everything is spelled out like I have never expeienced before. I have read the Bible several times but now its hitting home for me more than ever. I do not belong to any religion and believe that religion is manmade and anything but holy. A personal relationship with God is what I am talking about. Besides if you are fighting to live out the rest of your life on earth because you believe that there is nothing beyond this life, well it just seems to be a pretty low expectation. I believe there is more, MUCH MORE to live for.
I will end with this thought. If you live like there is no God – You’d better be right.

I’m not afraid i’m angry!! I don’t need to bielve in a religion to give me anything that I already have. I love this country and I am fighting the good fight. I go to local gov and have been trying to get a co.op. passed here for food, jobs, and security. I will let you know how it plays out. I just wanted to let you all know that you can do the same in your town/county. Make a stand and they will back down. Power to the peaceful!!

I am glad you feel all snuggly in your fantasy land.
It isn’t about just arming yourself and living in the bush.
It is standing up for your rights as a human being and saying I had enough of this crap.
Lastly, I think “you” better hope your God exists, for you are putting all your eggs in “that” basket.
Most of us feel secure enough in ourselves, and don’t have to look outside to find comfort or security.

i agree with you

The containment buildings at Palo Verde NGS have 5 foot thick, steel rebar reinforced walls. Think that’s good enough to stop a jet?

it will stop the impact but it will severely damage the containment building and it will damage the reactor core mostly likely causing a meltdown

What we need is to forget about nuclear plants and give Free Energy Devices to everybody, no longer having any use of those asking-to-be-a-disaster plants.

Had there ever been a group of terrorists capable of flying big jets with pinpoint accuracy into specific building they would have hit the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant just seventy miles from Ground Zero.
Protecting nuclear cesspits from CIA Black Op’s – who have no intention of hitting them – is just another way of perpetuating the myth that we need nuclear power. When sun, sea and wind power can actually give us virtually free electricity. All we need is an honest President to use our taxes to build these dirt-cheap-power-systems

Crazy government, can never be satisfied.

If the passengers of any airplane let a rag-head with a box cutter hijack another, well, f--- it.
If they are that stupid, well, hell, I don’t know what to say?
They should of course, get up and beat the s--- out of him. Yea, you might get cut, but so what?
It’s a matter of principle. Someone pulls a weapon on you, shove it up his ass.
This nuclear bull s--- sounds like the old no-nukes crowd just playing their same old stupid games. They want to make nuclear energy as cost prohibitive as possible. Any bull s--- excuse they can find in good with them.

Very nice NY Jets information. I hope to be in NYC for a game this fall.
