Armed officers protecting nuclear power stations ‘taking too many sick days’ – Telegraph.co.uk

They have argued that the physical nature of their role means they cannot guarantee they will be able to fulfil their duties beyond the age of 60, putting the public at risk.

But new rules mean they will have to work until 65 and eventually 68, before they are entitled to claim their pension.

Established in 2005, the CNC has more than 1,250 armed officers, who patrol all non-military nuclear sites - including the 14 atomic power stations - and keep them safe from terrorist attack.

The highly trained specialists can also be deployed at short notice to assist with any large scale national emergencies in order to bolster the number of armed officers on the streets.

While they have the same powers of arrest as ordinary warranted officers, the role of a CNC constable is very different, and when not out on patrol spend a large amount of their time undertaking rigorous training exercises.

They provide a round the clock ring of steel around nuclear establishments and must be prepared to repel any form of attack by terrorists.
