Effort And Prospective On Nuclear Security In Rok, Jung Soo Kim, Myung-Tak Jung, Kookheui Kwon, Youngwook Lee
International Journal of Nuclear Security
As of July 2013, the Republic of Korea (ROK) has been operating a total of 23 nuclear power reactors at four sites with five new reactors under construction. In addition, the country has planned to construct two more units at two candidate sites, but due to a change in the energy policy, only one candidate site has been constructed while the other was decommissioned. The ROK has also been exporting nuclear power plants to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and building a research reactor in Jordan. These actions have made the nation’s nuclear industry by far the fastest growing industry …
Small Modular Reactors And Advanced Reactor Security: Regulatory Perspectives On Integrating Physical And Cyber Security By Design To Protect Against Malicious Acts And Evolving Threats, Raphael Duguay
International Journal of Nuclear Security
How can future nuclear technologies and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) deter and prevent organized crime groups, terrorists, and malicious actors from attempting to steal or sabotage nuclear materials and facilities? This paper presents the benefits of integrating Security by Design (SeBD) into a regulatory framework to allow more a flexible and effective design of physical protection systems for SMRs. During its effort to modernize the Nuclear Security Regulations, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) licensing application process provides for the option of SeBD in moving toward a performance-based approach with less prescriptive requirements. CNSC also recognizes the need for a …
