<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7608650, member: 103207&quot;]I know from a very good source the nuclear power plants are not connected to the internet.&nbsp;&nbsp; The offices at the nuclear power plant are connected but, nothing that can take control of the actual power plant is connected to the internet.&nbsp;&nbsp; If they were I&#039;m sure someone would have already tried to hack the controls.&nbsp; &nbsp; What happened to the pipeline was because of pure stupidity on the people that control the pipe line.&nbsp;&nbsp; You would have thought they would be able to manual override the computer controls on the pipeline but, may be the people that operate the pipeline didn&#039;t think of that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know from the mechanical side it could have been done but, it would take some mechanical knowledge to manually open valves and manually override the pumps.&nbsp;&nbsp; And people would have to stay on site to make sure everything was being watched.&nbsp;&nbsp; All it proves is that we are relying to much on automation and are not properly training the operators for a situation like that.&nbsp; Sadly it will happen again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
