FBI Has "Good Lead" on Nuclear Sabotage

June 19, 2006 9:35 AM

Apr_turkey_point_060619_nrThe FBI has a "good lead" on the person or persons who intentionally drilled a hole in a critical pressure cooling pipe at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant in Florida, law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

One of the plant's two nuclear reactors was in the process of being fired up after routine maintenance when the 3/16th-inch hole was discovered on March 31.

The sources say FBI agents have determined the hole was not drilled accidentally and are gathering evidence for possible criminal charges.  A reward of $100,000 has been offered for information leading to the identification of those responsible for the damage at the plant, which is located south of Miami.

Why does this not surprise me? I have personally known that Nuclear plants routinely hire people you and I would not. I can't believe they hire people from the middle east, in such secure areas.
And how hard is it for someone to gain access when the ID's are stolen from other nuclear workers and the government does nothing about ID fraud.

What is the government doing FOR us here in the US???? WHAT exactly is BUSH doing for THIS COUNTRY???

Wiretapping couldn't find this little gem?????

I am so discussed with all the illegals trashing this country and the White House KING just watches as it happens. I've had my wires tapped, and my computer spies....and still the corruption continues. We didn't have this problem before all the illegals.

I asked years ago what is being done for security at nuclear plants
only to read last year that illegals were working in secure areas in construction.

This is getting NUTS!!! When are WE the PEOPLE going to take action over all this corruption???

It's my understanding that back in the day, they use to issue visitor passes to permanent personnel on a daily basis in order to circumvent random drug/alcohol testing. Now, with Mitch Wade and Shirlington both working for the NRC, it sounds like it's even worse. Maybe they should start checking those limos for drill bit carrying hookers.
