My understanding from this side of the pond is that the Department of Energy does not fuck about when it comes to providing policing and defensive security to whatever sites and infrastructure that comes under their jurisdiction - they put a fair bit of time and money into being pretty fucking decent with firearm handling and marksmanship markspersonship decent shooting.

That said, this photo is 46+ years old so who knows now?
