When nuclear security goes wrong:
State and federal officials plan inquiries into operations at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in the wake of accusations that a former plant employee illegally downloaded software with details of the plant while he was in Iran.
Arizona Congressmen Harry Mitchell and John Shadegg on Saturday termed the allegations “troubling” and promised a detailed review.
“It is very troubling to learn that a Palo Verde employee may have smuggled secrets about the nuclear plant to a dangerous regime dead-set on developing a nuclear weapon,” said Mitchell, a freshman Democrat. “This requires an internal review of all security procedures in the plant and requires us to look closely at what can be done to prevent this from happening again.”
