An Ohio company says the man who gunned down four Marines in Tennessee failed a background check in May 2013.

Todd Schneider, a spokesman for FirstEnergy Corp., says Muhammad Abdulazeez was conditionally hired as an engineer at a nuclear plant about 35 miles northeast of Cleveland. He spent 10 days there before he was let go because he failed a background check.

He would not say why Abdulazeez didn’t pass the screening process. Abdulazeez underwent general training on company procedures, but his access was limited during his brief employment.

Schneider says he worked in an administrative building and was never allowed in the protected area of the plant near the reactor.

He says employees recognized a photo of Abdulazeez after the shooting and alerted company officials.

He would have been given an L or Q clearance. Most people that are eventually denied clearances usually go months or occasionally years with an interim clearance before the final decision. There must have been something especially egregious in his background to be let go after only 10 days...

Sorry, calling B.S. on that. Q clearance is basically for nuclear weapons. No way they're giving a Muslim pigfucking sandnigger fresh out of school working at a power plant one of those.

Bottom line: Fuck you. Go somewhere and die.

No. It's access to nuclear *materials* and information related to, including those at higher levels which may have weapons *potential.* Fairly common for people at power plants and working on the civilian nuke side at DOE.
