The UK’s most hazardous nuclear site, Sellafield, has been hacked into by cyber groups closely linked to Russia and China, the Guardian can reveal.
The astonishing disclosure and its potential effects have been consistently covered up by senior staff at the vast nuclear waste and decommissioning site, the investigation has found.
Only 8 years of unreported potentially critical security risks.
How many more of these stories do we need, until the pro nuclear crowd realises that these issues are systemic to the sector and it is a technology not handleable for mankind in its current state?
Mankind has for ever struggled with new technologies. Since they discovered (greek) fire, gunpowder, dynamite, Steam & Coal energy; there have always been downsides to our technological advancement. Nowadays, it’s all about the dangers of nuclear ( waste) energy and AI. Advancement brings many risks and thus a tradeoff. Not saying you are wrong btw, just saying that It not being handable by mankind has been an old critique. What we certainly must do is remain vigilant and critical. We need especially to be watchful for humans who like to play with fire…
