India’s Nuclear Power Corporation (NPCIL) denies reports of a “sensitive data” breach at the Kudankulam nuclear power plant. NPCIL says the information referenced in claims circulating publicly relates only to “Balance of Plant” common service facilities. The company states this material does not include nuclear-related information.
According to NPCIL, the reported files concern conventional, non-nuclear safety systems associated with plant common services. The documents are described as being prepared by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. for such common services. NPCIL also maintains that the alleged breach does not compromise nuclear security or reactor core systems.
Both accounts characterize the issue as limited to non-nuclear systems used for plant operations rather than safety-critical or nuclear design information. The reports also indicate that the affected documentation pertains to plant units under construction.
No source in the provided material confirms unauthorized access or details of any nuclear compromise. NPCIL’s position is that the alleged leak does not involve nuclear or safety-sensitive information.
