14. It sits in pools for seven years before it's cool enough to move
If we don't have enough security to guard fuel for seven years, we don't have enough security to guard a nuclear reactor.

Of the 2,000 employees that work at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, 500 work in security. The spent fuel is not just behind a fence, but several of them, as well as several layers of electronic defenses and guards with automatic weapons who take their job very seriously.
