Sellafield nuclear site boss denies evidence of hacking | BBC News

The chief executive of Sellafield has hit back at reports that computer systems at the nuclear site in Cumbria, England, have been hacked.

Euan Hutton said there was no evidence of Sellafield's IT networks having been targeted by groups linked to foreign governments.

He also rejected allegations of serious safety failings at the plant.

Sellafield is widely regarded as Western Europe's most hazardous nuclear site. Its activities included generating electricity and reprocessing spent fuel. Now it is mainly used for the treatment and storage of nuclear waste.
