The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation following a concerning incident at the Oconee Nuclear Station in South Carolina on Thursday night.
At approximately 8:05 p.m. on Thursday, deputies from the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office responded immediately to an emergency call from the Oconee Nuclear Station. An unknown individual had reportedly driven a car through the exit side of the facility’s gate, facing Highway 183, FOX Carolina reported.
According to on-site accounts, following the unauthorized entry, the facility’s security systems activated pop-up barricades designed to immobilize intruding vehicles. The rogue driver, however, managed to reverse the vehicle upon encountering these barricades and proceeded down an adjacent dirt road. It was here that Duke Energy security personnel made an effort to block the intruding car.
Undeterred, the driver escalated the situation by ramming through a fence and attempting to strike the security personnel on-site. Making a hasty exit from the plant premises, the driver, in his bid to escape, tried to ram a security member’s truck parked near the exit.
The car then continued its reckless rampage, speeding back onto Highway 183 and eventually diverting to a property on Jones Mill Road. It was at this location that gunshots were reported, though the source remains unconfirmed by the deputies.
The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office, led by Master Deputy Jimmy Watt, is currently on a manhunt for the suspect and the vehicle involved, WYFF News 4 reported.
They have identified the car as a silver 2002 Toyota Camry with an Arkansas license plate bearing the tag number 380VDR.

South Carolina ping, please.
Named Muhammad.....................
I am curious how far this plant is from the newest one that just came online in Georgia.
More nukes, Less kooks!
Sounds like a probe to check out the security protocols
Keystone cops ping.
/s
BINGO!
No name, no picture.
Gee, I wonder why?...
Hang the body outside the front gate.
Car was most likely stolen, and the plates as well.................
Good, but flunked by the plant, test of security.
It’s good they are revealing all the details, the next attack will be better prepared now.
Great !!! Sounds like the Rodeo may be getting closer.
Of course the Arkansas link might have just been X-42 looking for a good fishing spot ~?
Sounds like a F+ for Security.
Need some Turrets with Twin 50’s and a Humvee with a 50 caliber on a Turret. Maybe toss in an AH-64 with a smattering of Hellfires.
Tell me there NO CAMERAS here?
They can not release a picture of the driver to help identify?
Interesting that they gave the plate #. They already have the car...
There will be more of these checks. The infiltrators are here. They are testing the targets. The softer, the better.
It’s been to respond to this tests in the harshest way possible. A Vlad the Impaler type response would get their attention.
Nvrmnd.

Security: “Whelp, those barriers are installed in the main road.”
Visitor: “What about the adjacent dirt road?”
Security: “Meh.”
I Have worked in Nuclear power for over 40 years now. The best this bozo managed was damaging some barricades and fencing around the owner-controlled area and never even challenged the Protected Area (the actual area allowing access to anything Nuclear).
Not to say someone creative and with the resources can’t compromise a US Nuclear Power Plant. Just saying our power plants these days are more hardened and locked down than the average military base.
