I have checked this and i have seen that this software also provides high-quality satellite pictures of sensitive targets to be placed on the web.
Britain's nuclear security watch*** has warned the company that it will act to stop detailed pictures of atomic power stations being made available.
The Australian government has already demanded that pictures of a nuclear plant should be removed from the site, while American soldiers are concerned that the software may have been used to help target US bases in Iraq.
The Office for Civil Nuclear Security (OCNS), which oversees security at all the UK's civil atomic plants, says it regards the Google Earth software as a "security issue" and that it would act to prevent highly detailed images of British nuclear power stations being made available.
