S.Korean president says to take nuke data leaks seriously

South Korean President Park Geun-hye said Tuesday that data leakage from nuclear reactors is a serious accident that should not have happened, calling for a thorough investigation.

"Nuclear reactors are the most important security facility directly linked to people's safety. Serious situations that should never have happened were caused in terms of national security," Park said during a Cabinet meeting.

Her comments came after a perpetrator posted blueprints and installation diagrams, taken from the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., the country's nuclear plant operator, on the Internet.

The perpetrator, who identified himself as "president of anti- nuclear group in Hawaii", claimed that he hacked and infiltrated computer systems of Korea Hydro, threatening the second hacking attack and another leakage of some 100,000 pages of undisclosed documents unless three nuclear reactors in the country's southeast are closed by Dec. 25.

Park said people are deeply worried as Korea Hydro's blueprints and internal documents were disclosed on the Internet and the hacker demanded the halting of operations in the nuclear reactors. She called for prosecutors to make a thorough investigation into the accident and identify who is hiding behind the accident if any.

Korea Hydro operates all 23 nuclear reactors of South Korea. Its parent company is Korea Electric Power Corp, the state-run monopoly power supplier.
