STUXNET UPDATE: MAJOR SETBACK REPORTED AT IRANIAN NUKE PLANT…….

The lovely Stuxnet malware virus has screwed the Iranians nuclear operations for some time to come, and in the eventuality of their recovering from this major setback, the West has to already have others goodies upcits sleeve waiting for them. No doubt that those who designed and planned this cyber attack are doing just that. KGS

Setback Is Reported at an Iranian Nuclear Plant

The reactor building at the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran. Operation of the long-anticipated facility has been delayed.

Iran told atomic inspectors this week that it had run into a serious problem at a newly completed nuclear reactor that was supposed to start feeding electricity into the national grid this month, raising questions about whether the trouble was sabotage, a startup problem, or possibly the beginning of the project’s end.

In a report on Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran told inspectors on Wednesday that it was planning to unload nuclear fuel from its Bushehr reactor — the sign of a major upset. For years, Tehran has hailed the reactor as a showcase of its peaceful nuclear intentions and its imminent startup as a sign of quickening progress.

But nuclear experts said the giant reactor, Iran’s first nuclear power plant, now threatens to become a major embarrassment, as engineers remove 163 fuel rods from its core.

Iran gave no reason for the unexpected fuel unloading, but it has previously admitted that the Stuxnet computer worm infected the Bushehr reactor. On Friday, computer experts debated whether Stuxnet was responsible for the surprising development.

Russia, which provided the fuel to Iran, said earlier this month that the worm’s infection of the reactor should be investigated, arguing that it might trigger a nuclear disaster. Other experts said those fears were overblown, but noted that the full workings of the Stuxnet worm remained unclear.

  1. This is truly a feel good story. I hope they will develop other viruses to make it clear to Iran that the game is over.
