Nebraska power districts brace for higher nuclear plant security
Officials from NPPD and OPPD plan to meet NRC requirements to strengthen security at Cooper Nuclear Station and Ft. Calhoun Unit along the Missouri River. Estimated costs rise to about 4 million, with annual operating costs potentially an extra 1 to 2 million per plant. Measures include more guards, lights, intruder alarms, rifles for guards, and stricter access controls. Construction changes may curb casual public visits to the sites.

Stanley Matzke, director of the Department of Administrative Services, says cutting 16 positions and delaying 14 others hurts deeply as the agency trims its budget by about 20 percent. He notes layoffs will affect mentally retarded and physically handicapped workers and describes reorganizations, including merging security and maintenance chiefs for the Capitol and Nebraska State Office Building. He rejects seeking a deficit appropriation and plans to brief lawmakers despite rising utility costs adding 35,000 dollars to expenses.
