  • 05 May 2004 - Avila Beach, California - A nuclear security officer armed with the requisite AR-15 assault rifle and 9mm hand gun patrols coastal area of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Since 9/11, Pacific Gas & Electronic, operator of the Diablo Canyon power plant, has increased security at the coastal power plant. Armed forces stand guard at the three vehicle inspection points as well as all points of entry into the buildings while a roving security force covers the surrounding grounds outside of the plant and all the inner working confines from the turbine deck to offices to the nuclear reactor's control room.

  • 20 May 2004 - Avila Beach, California - A radiation warning sign hangs at the high-level radiation perimeter adjacent to the 440,000-gallon pool holding the nuclear reactor's spent fuel assemblies. Critics argue that the spent fuel pools are an ideal target to terrorists that could use an attack to drain the pool and cause the spent fuel to ignite, resulting in long-term radioactive contamination of California's central coast. Plant operators say the depth of the pools along with the pool's steel and concrete lining makes the pools nearly invincible. (© 2004 Michael A. Mariant) By photographer Michael Mariant

  • 28 April 2004 - Avila Beach, California - Dogs stand watch over a heard of goats on the hillside below above the nuclear power plant. The goats are used as fire prevention - clearing the weeds and underbrush under the powerlines - while at the same time keeping the immediate terrain surrounding the power plant with a clear line of sight.

  • 05 May 2004 - Avila Beach, California - After proceding through the "security train" - a series of bomb detection, metal detector and x-ray devices in the main office building lobby, an employee swipes his ID card while placing his hand in a device that scans an individual's hand geometry to match the hand to the ID card. Positive identification unlocks a narrow revolving iron gate to allow the employee entrance to the main office building at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

With a heavily armed security force averaging 17-years of experience at the power plant, Pacific Gas & Electric, operator of the power plant, is training officers for an expanded security force. The 17-week extensive physical and mental training program narrows down the 1,000 applicants to a mere 12 that qualify as nuclear security officers. (© 2004 Michael A.
