Unfortunately while this property has never been in use, it is still guarded around the clock by federal officials and signs in front of the gate warn that anyone who drives onto the property might be searched.

This is as close as we came to the nuclear facility itself.

The complex sits on the northern stretch of Guntersville Lake.

Although we couldn’t gain access to the property it was still worth driving through rural Northeast Alabama to see a nuclear plant in the middle of nowhere.
