  • 05 May 2004 - Avila Beach, California - Security trainer Mark Parsons, in red shirt, watches as trainee Jim Fletcher tries to don a gas mask as part of a qualifying firearms exercise at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant's firearms training facility. 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.
