NPCIL denies nuclear systems breach after Kudankulam data leak report
NPCIL stated a data breach at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project involved only conventional Balance of Plant (BoP) facilities, not nuclear safety or security systems.
Leaked files were prepared by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. under an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract awarded in 2018.
The breach relates to plant units 3 and 4 under construction; the affected information is conventional, similar to thermal power plants.
NPCIL confirmed that nuclear security and reactor core systems remain uncompromised.
