Coast Guard Proposes Changes to Security Zones Around Byron Nuclear Power Plant and Hammond Intake Crib

The US Coast Guard is proposing to remove a security zone around the Byron Nuclear Power Plant and establish a new zone around the Hammond Intake Crib on Lake Michigan to protect the freshwater supply from potential sabotage or terrorism, in response to a determination that removing the Byron zone would not increase the plant's vulnerability.
