NSA denies power arcing problems

The NSA has denied allegations that its new "spy on everyone" data centre is being plagued with power problems.

Last week there were rumours that the Utah Data Centre was being damaged by power arcing and would not be online in time.

The National Security Agency responded saying that reports of damage were overblown.

However many of the details came from an unreleased report from the Army Corps of Engineers, summaries of which appeared in the Wall Street Journal so it is a little harder to discount.

Still that has not stopped Harvey Davis, NSA director for installations and logistics having a crack at denying it.

He claimed in a letter to Congress, published by Slashdot, that the electrical problems are far less severe and the damage much more contained than media reports indicated.
