Nuke...*

An engineer, Szuhsiung "Allen" Ho, working as an operative for the Chinese government in a bid to use American know-how to beef up China's nuclear program pleaded guilty in the first-of-its-kind prosecution in the nation.


Ho, his firm Energy Technology International, and Chinese nuclear power plant China General Nuclear Power were indicted in an alleged plot to lure nuclear experts in the United States into providing information to allow China to develop and produce nuclear material based on American technology and below the radar of the U.S. government.

Tennessee Valley Authority Office of the Inspector General, contacted the FBI with concerns about one of TVA's senior executives, engineer Ching Huey, who later admitted that Ho, and by extension the Chinese government, paid him to supply information about nuclear power production.  Huey agreed to cooperate in the probe and has since struck a plea deal.

Ho is a Taiwan native who became a naturalized U.S. citizen
It is not Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Pakistan. It is China.   Just a thought.
