This was done as part of the complex for the protection of critical infrastructure in Ukraine in the sphere of nuclear energy measures.
stated, that the installation of "defective equipment" planned to carry out industry officials. At the same time noted, that industry officials "knowingly purchased counterfeit for the safe operation of nuclear power systems". Also in the SBU stated, that all these facts they were able to document.
This SBU report is of particular interest due to the fact, that at the Ukrainian nuclear power plants, as is known, recently tested the transition from fuel assemblies of Russian production on the tape of Westinghouse. At the same time attempts to use the Western fuel cartridge often led to breakdowns. Somehow SBU questions to purchase western parts, which is clearly not suitable for the work at Ukrainian NPPs, arose. Now, suddenly found a "counterfeit", which threatens the security of the country. And reported that, what kind of equipment.
It turned, that it is a power cable, the use of which is not provided by the rules. Who specifically cable sold, not yet reported.
I.e, according to the logic of the SBU, cable could lead to man-made disaster, and inappropriate Westinghouse fuel assemblies - no.
