The sources questioned by our colleagues indicate that a “red alert” was triggered early in the afternoon. All employees were then confined. There is a suspicion of intrusion on the site.

A door left open

Still according to Actu, it was a door left open in a place where there should not have been any activity that triggered the alert. While it has implemented an important security system, the management of the nuclear power plant does not go into details. She evokes “a non-compliant situation”the implementation of “a very strict” and “secret” procedure. “The application of our security procedures showed that there was no anomaly,” she concludes.
