I did not ask him to rattle them all off, but it was quite clear that he could.
You could not ask for a smarter, more well prepared person to be in charge in that room.

The plant went on line in 1985.
Everything had to be approved before it was built so 90% of the technology is from the 70's

I'd still like one for my basement.... ;D
Seriously, I have a cousin in Richland WA that does/did recurrent training for plant operators and pre 911 could of actually run me through a drill in the simulator. I never got out there and after 911 security got a lot tighter. I'm surprised you can even get close to a control room now!

I grew-up (or was raised rather) near a hydroelectric dam and as teens, a group of friends would gain access and run around all night inside the structure. one of the group worked with the visitor center by day and therefore had the necessary keys, keycard, etc.
similarly, after 9/11, fences, gates, cameras and guards went into place and public access was non-existent.
I thought that under "homeland security" the access to such facilities as the above was simply not allowed?
