TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- A complex computer worm capable of seizing control of industrial plants has affected the personal computers of staff working at
Iran's first nuclear power station weeks before the facility is to go online, the official news agency reported Sunday.
The project manager at the Bushehr nuclear plant, Mahmoud Jafari, said a team is trying to remove the malware from several affected computers, though
it "has not caused any damage to major systems of the plant," the IRNA news agency reported.
It was the first sign that the malicious computer code, dubbed Stuxnet, which has spread to many industries in Iran, has also affected equipment
linked to the country's nuclear program, which is at the core of the dispute between Tehran and Western powers like the United States.
