“Being part of the nuclear industry, we have to be prepared for everything,” plant spokesman Bill Downey said. “We have to protect the plant and keep the power running. To do that, we’ve got to have some critical employees that are here and available in a moments notice.”

Cook employees with access to travel trailers have toted them over to the parking lot at the plant in case the need should arise for them to be sequestered in place on site during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We’re ready should things get bad. If we lose employees or if we get surrounded and the governor comes down that we need to protect the plant,” Downey said. “We have pretty high bar guidelines to follow.”
