PHOENIX -- An illegal immigrant breached security and entered the Palo Verde Nuclear plant west of Phoenix, according to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

"We have arrested an illegal alien who has penetrated and gone into the Palo Verde nuclear plant," Arpaio said Thursday, adding that he is outraged at another example of the lack of security along the Arizona-Mexico border.

Arpaio said he would release more information later Thursday about Wednesday night's incident at Palo Verde, which is the nation's largest nuclear plant. It is 50 miles west of downtown Phoenix.
