Touring Wolf Creek
Posted on December 3, 2009 by Ching under Flickr.
Lance, Isaac and I got to go on a tour of Wolf Creek today. It was really cool. Security there is very tight. Since I couldn’t take pictures at the power plant, I took pictures of the models at the Eisenhower Learning Center. That’s where we all met up for a brief presentation.
We had to ride a bus to the power plant for security reasons. If we drove in our own vehicles, we would have had to stand outside for 30 minutes to an hour while security searched each vehicle inside and out. They would pop the hood and trunks open and search every nook and cranny. The bus has already been searched so it was more efficient for all of us to pile in the bus instead of taking half a dozen vehicles over there to be inspected.
Security at Wolf Creek is ten times better than airport security. Armed guards are everywhere. Multiple fences covered by barb and razor wire surround the property. They x-ray your stuff, make you go through an air puffer thing and metal detectors. They have radiation detectors that attach to you. Your radiation level is measured before they allow you to leave, and on and on. At Wolf Creek, they take security very, very seriously.
The presentation and tour were really informative. I only wish that Brian could have gone with me. Maybe I’ll get to go again and am able to bring him next time.
