There is some impressive and hefty protections at the plant. The key feature is the 8 foot tall "aquadam," a large rubber tube filled with water that surrounds the key part of the facilty. It is very long.
The substation where power comes in and leaves when the plant operates has a 9 foot earthen berm built up around it with sandbags as well.
