- (PA) -- Two workers (for Bechtel Corp.)
looking for tools set off a security situation at a Beaver County nuclear
power plant that drew a response from police and federal investigators,
WTAE Channel reported... A state trooper got a warrant to search the vehicle
and found a duffel bag, which he said contained $504,230 in mostly small
bills. The men, who are from Houston, said they picked up the bag in Chicago
and had no knowledge of its contents, according to police. (MIHOP II thwarted?)

- (PA) -- When security guards at the Beaver
Valley Power Station discovered a bag containing thousands of dollars in
a tractor-trailer cab, one of the vehicle's occupants told them his boss
planned to use the cash to buy a truck. State police said the bag, which
guards spotted on Tuesday while conducting a routine search of the tractor-trailer
at the entrance to the nuclear power plant, contained 10 plastic-wrapped
bundles of cash totaling $504,230. State police were investigating to determine
who owns the money and how it got into the tractor-trailer... The truckers
worked for a company hired by San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., which
is performing construction work and replacing equipment at the plant, said
Richard Wilkins, spokesman for plant owner First Energy Nuclear Operating
Co.
