U.S. Army Team Demonstrates Nuclear Plant Shutdown Skill in Alabama

The U.S. Army’s Nuclear Disablement Team 1, part of the 20th CBRNE Command, recently showcased its ability to shut down a simulated nuclear power plant during an air assault training exercise in Hollywood, Alabama. The training, which involved collaboration with the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), centered on the non-operational Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant, a secure and effective venue for such an exercise.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant, located in Hollywood, Alabama, is unfinished and does not house nuclear fuel, making it a safe environment for training purposes.
  2. The U.S. Department of Defense possesses three Nuclear Disablement Teams (NDTs), all based at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. These teams specialize in exploiting and disabling nuclear and radiological WMD infrastructures.
  3. The 20th CBRNE Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground holds three-fourths of the active-duty U.S. Army’s CBRN specialists and Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians.
  4. Capt. David D. Manzanares, the Nuclear Medical Science officer from NDT 1, emphasized the potential threats from damaged nuclear power stations or emergencies linked to nuclear reactors in adverse situations.
  5. The Idaho National Laboratory provided a simulator to recreate a realistic nuclear power plant for the exercise, offering hands-on training, as opposed to the traditional classroom-based instructional training.
