Hour One: Nuclear Security
Right after the September eleventh attacks, the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission advised all nuclear power plants to go to the highest level
of security.
While some experts say existing security measures aren't sufficient
to prevent a terrorist attack, the NRC says physical protection at the
country's 103 nuclear power plants is very strong. In this hour, we'll
discuss nuclear security.
