"Kesselring data turns up in federal spy case
Map of nuclear site seized from man accused of sharing U.S. military information with Chinese"
By DAN HIGGINS, Staff writer
First published: Wednesday, December 7, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A defense contractor accused of sharing sensitive U.S. military information with the Chinese government had a hand-drawn map of the Kesserling nuclear reactor site in Milton among his possessions, according to federal court documents obtained by the Times Union.
A federal indictment and probable cause affidavit does not say how Chi Mak, a naturalized American citizen, got the map or what significance it has. But the map was among the items seized when federal agents executed a search warrant Oct. 28 on the Los Angeles-area home, office and vehicles of Mak, his brother Tai Mak, and both men's wives.
The map allegedly in his possession was the first of two recent security breaches of the 3,900-acre Kesselring site, operated by Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. It's home to prototype nuclear reactors used in Navy submarines. The other security breach was on Nov. 30 and involved illegal hunting on the property."
