Nuclear Nightmare: As Terror Fears Spike, Power Plant Near Nation’s Capital Sits Practically Unguarded

LUSBY, Md. — About 50 miles outside Washington D.C. is a nuclear power plant that sits on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. It’s the sort of place the government has warned is vulnerable to a terrorist attack.

But an investigation conducted by The Daily Caller found that anybody can enter the property of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, drive through the front gates, park not far from a nuclear reactor and have no contact of any kind with security.

A reporter and videographer drove from the nation’s capital last Friday to Calvert Cliffs and twice accessed the power plant site. No one stopped or even seemed to notice them.

TheDC was able to proceed through an unmanned security checkpoint — the guard booth was empty and padlocked — and, minutes later, enter a parking lot about 550 feet away from one of the plant’s two nuclear reactors.

We have many power plants like this one , if they were a target , it would destroy our country for good. It would cripple us to the point that more than 150 million people would die in the U.S.. That's about 50% of our people. In a few years most of the population would be gone.
This would provide all of our enemies with pride of defeat. Now they can resume fighting each other again.

Saw this on TV, unbelieveable, I swear. Now every terrorist, everywhere, knows they are free to do what they want, whenever they want.

Some folks would say privately, "Let it happen - we need a good excuse"!

Pearl Harbor was a similar situation - as was WTC in NYC. The Germans used a similar tactic to rabble-rouse the citizenry prior to WWII.

It's a common tactic - how many people is the government willing to sacrifice this time?

8:29am That is what Benghazi was for and they mucked it up. The beheadings are being used to sway public opinion. Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen, we had prior warnings.

What ever does our government have planned for us next either through negligence or out right involvement?

It's so easy that someone can knock out a large area of power just by slinging a chain over the fence now that's scary.
