Is Vermont Yankee secure against a terrorist attack?
Vermont Yankee’s well armed and well-trained security force is larger than most police agencies in the state of Vermont. Since Entergy purchased Vermont Yankee in 2002, many security improvements have been made, including: additional concrete barriers, barbed wire fencing, surveillance monitors and motion detectors, new fortified entrance gates, and stringent identification systems for all persons entering the site. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security also has a wide range of measures to protect Vermont Yankee from air attack.
