i wonder what would happen if terrorists took over a nuclear power facility in arkansas? probably not much, but still, it kinda makes you think maybe these facilities are not as secure as we once thought. maybe someone should think of a solution. like for example, stationing gamorian guards around the facility. bib fortuna could be head of security and they could have ewoks hidden in the woods to ensnare terrorists using primitive weaponry.

They usually are pretty heavily armed guards at nuke facilities. They even drill for such instances as some dudes with guns ramming through the gate/fence with a truck etc. Most of em are ex-military, some police.

E: my old man and my brother both work at a local Dominion plant.

based on the terrorists I know of the power would be on for about 2 hours a day and the rest of the time at the power plant would be spent smoking cigarettes or chewing khat.

Probably not much of anything, it's not like there is a big red self-destruct button, would you know how to make a nuclear power plant go supercritical?

Nope, but they are pretty aggressive due to boredom! Those dudes love nothing more than some idiot sub trying to get through the gate reeking of pot. Then they get to rip dudes out of the vehicle and do the ole' hood slam thing.

the problem in america is we always focus on our differences. of course the terrorists would attack a nuclear plant. if theyd just attack some coal plants, though, they're basically committing terrorism themselves with greenhouse gasses so the terrorists could get their message across and we wouldn't have to go loving occupy syria about it because in the end they they brought america a step closer to clean energy

I was going to be all "heh look at you not knowing things" but then realized that tbh if you put a map in front of me I could point to the general part of the country it's in but probably it'd take me a couple tries to pinpoint which state it was :eng99:

That "bathysphere" youre thinking of is just an old deep sink from the old locker rooms before the remodel I'm pretty sure. Maybe try it anyways?
