A 26-year old American, Sharif Mobley, now under arrest in Yemen for terrorist activities, became an Islamic militant while working for six years at several nuclear plants in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland; the man -- who told fellow workers "We are brothers in the union, but if a holy war comes, look out" -- had unescorted access to the interior of the plants; to have unescorted access to secure areas of a nuclear power plant, a person must undergo a background investigation, including a criminal record check and a psychological assessment -- but the rules did not account for temporary workers who migrate from plant to plant, as Mobley did...
Much of the report was withheld from the public release because it “revealed security vulnerabilities” at nuclear facilities, said Stephen D. Dingbaum, the commission’s assistant inspector general for audits.
Shane writes that the inspector general found that Mobley did have unescorted access to the interior of the plants but did not have access to computers or high-security information.
