French police suspect industrial espionage after computers stolen from nuclear power company
PARIS - French police say thieves have stolen two computers containing confidential information from a power company's nuclear energy research site.
Police say Thursday the burglary — which was discovered by staff on Monday — took place at the Electricite de France office in Chatou west of Paris, even though it is protected by highly secure anti-theft systems. They suspect industrial espionage may be involved.
An EDF spokeswoman said the office is for research purposes and its systems are not connected to any nuclear plant.
EDF said in a statement that the two laptops "contain no information about the operating systems of nuclear plants."
About 700 researchers work at the site.
France gets about 80 per cent of its electricity from nuclear power.
