Armed guards 'could be taken off nuclear sites'

Serious concerns have been raised over the security of nuclear material in Britain despite official warnings that al-Qaeda terrorists are trying to build a nuclear or radiological bomb.

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary, which is responsible for guarding nuclear sites, is in open conflict with the Office for Civil Nuclear Security which has said there is no requirement for armed officers at the sites.
 
Some officers are also questioning whether there are enough police to guard the rest of the country’s 15 nuclear sites.

I wonder how well nuclear and other energy sites in the US are protected?
