TENNESSEE NUCLEAR FACILITY WORKER CHARGED WITH TRYING TO SELL CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON URANIUM ENRICHMENT

A contract worker at the Oak Ridge Reservation nuclear research facility has been arrested and charged with trying to sell highly classified information about how to enrich uranium.

An indictment is expected to be unsealed this afternoon, and, the man is expected to appear in federal court in the middle district of Tennessee. The lab is located outside Knoxville, Tenn.

Federal sources told ABC News the man thought he was selling the information to a foreign agent, but they said he was actually selling it to U.S. undercover agent. Sources emphasize that the public was never in danger but acknowledge that the case represents a major breach and raises serious questions about the security at some of the nation's most sensitive nuclear installations.

This latest incident comes on the heels of last fall's security breach at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

In that case, a contract employee at the lab had taken classified documents and computer files home with her. The materials were discovered only after authorities searched her home on a separate matter -- a domestic disturbance call turned methamphetamine lab raid.
=====================

Sometimes, I get the feeling that they have these sting operations going on behind the scenes so they can pull them out when it is convenient.
