TRENTON, N.J. — National Guardsmen and state police will no longer patrol New Jersey’s three nuclear power plants.

State Attorney General Anne Milgram says that enhanced private security and a new video monitoring system at the plants will suffice.

The video monitoring system used has thermal imaging capabilities and can provide views of the perimeter. It feeds images directly to the state’s Regional Operations and Intelligence Center.

National Guardsmen have patrolled outside Oyster Creek in Forked River and the Salem and Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations in Salem County since October 2001.

During the last seven years, Oyster Creek and Salem/Hope Creek have spent more than $82 million combined on capital security improvements.

1. "enhanced private security" . . . . .Blackwater?. . .. . . n/t

2. How else can to hide the positioning of the new gestapo in plain view?

Sounds like a Blackwater base in NJ to me.

And somehow Privatizing this will be less expensive? Bullshit.

I wonder if we will start seeing this at other active and inactive Nuke Sites around the country? They are, for the most part, very close to our major populations centers.
