South Korea: Scandal Affects Reactors South Korea: Forgery Scandal Affects Reactors
(about 1 hour later)
South Korea’s nuclear watchdog is investigating a forgery scandal that is forcing the shutdown of two reactors, an official said Tuesday, raising fears of power shortages this winter. The spokeswoman for the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, Shim Eun-jung, said the agency was checking forged safety certificates and would invite civilian experts to participate. South Korea announced Monday that it found five nuclear reactors running with falsely certified components. Officials say two reactors have either shut down or were to do so Tuesday.South Korea’s nuclear watchdog is investigating a forgery scandal that is forcing the shutdown of two reactors, an official said Tuesday, raising fears of power shortages this winter.
