South Korea: 3 Die at Nuclear Plant’s Construction Site
|
Version 0 of 1. Three South Korean workers died Friday after apparently inhaling toxic gas at a construction site for a nuclear plant being built by South Korea’s monopoly nuclear power company, which has come under recent threats by hackers, a company official said. The accident at the construction site in the southeastern city of Ulsan came as the state-run Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Company was on high alert over a series of threats by hackers who claim they can disable the control systems of its plants. Choi Hee-ye, a company spokeswoman, said there was no reason to believe that the accident was linked to the cyberattack threats. The company has yet to determine the cause of the accident, although a nitrogen leak was suspected, she said. |
