After several security lapses in and around it’s nuclear power plants and mounting fears of a threatened al Qaeda terror attack, Spain has stepped up security at it’s nuclear facilities.
Security at the nuclear power plants has been beefed up since February,and was prompted by the trial of those responsible for the 11 March 2004 bomb attacks in Madrid. In June 2006, the CSN said in a report that those attacks “highlight the existence of threats that could affect installations and nuclear or radioactive material.”
