Yeah, it's gotten more complicated at every plant since 9/11. I drive through to the gatehouse, my car is searched, and the officer checks my badge. After I park, I walk to the pre-access facility where my badge is scanned and I use the hand geometry thingy (biometrics). Then to the main access facility, where I go through a metal detector and explosives detector, then another badge scanning and hand geometry. Maybe that's why no one leaves site for work And yes, there are plenty of ex-Navy in commercial nuclear.
