Dear Senator Lugar:
Are you aware of this security problem at our nuclear plants ???
IT: Nuclear Training Software Downloaded To Iran Posted by kdawson on Monday April 23, 01:04AM from the round-up-the-usual-suspects dept.
Security SixFactor sends in word of a theft of training software for a nuclear plant. An ex-employee of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, in Arizona, allegedly downloaded training software to his laptop while he was in Iran. The software was downloaded from a Maryland-based contractor to the nuclear plant. It contained information about the Palo' Verde facility:
control rooms, reactors, and design. It was used to simulate situations for training at the site. Why the ex-engineer downloaded the software is not known.
What is troubling is this person's ability to access the software after his employment at the site ended.
Sincerely, Dan Vandre 8123315806 1
