National survey on electric utilities security
Book
·
OSTI ID:7277144
The survey reports the findings of 367 electric utilities in the United States regarding security-related matters. They are mainly the small- to medium-sized companies serving more than 16 million customers. The companies are categorized by the numbers of customers in their distribution areas. This enables a utility to compare its security program with the profile for reporting companies of similar size. Results show that security measures escalate with company size, but utilities large and small are deficient in protection for outlying facilities such as unmanned substations. The great majority of reporting companies have neither guards, alarm systems, nor mobile patrols for non-nuclear facilities. Results are summarized from the survey on thefts, vandalism, guards, electronic protection, security opinions, bomb threats and bombings, security improvement, criticality, and vulnerability. (MCW)
