Download or read book Nuclear Power Plant Security and Vulnerabilities written by Mark Holt and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical security of nuclear power plants (NPP) and their vulnerability to acts of terrorism was elevated to a national security concern following the 9/11 attacks. Since then, Congress has focused oversight and legislative attention on NPP security requirements. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 act required NRC to conduct ¿force-on-force¿ security exercises at NPP at least once every 3 years. In these exercises, a mock adversary force from outside a NPP attempts to penetrate the plant¿s vital area and simulate damage to key safety components. Contents of this report: Overview of Reactor Security; Design Basis Threat; Large Aircraft Crashes; Force-On-Force Exercises; Emergency Response; Spent Fuel Storage; and Security Personnel.

Book excerpt: The physical security of nuclear power plants and their vulnerability to deliberate acts of terrorism was elevated to a national security concern following the events of September 11, 2001. Title VI of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 regarding nuclear security amended the Atomic Energy Act with the addition of new provisions for security evaluations and rule making to revise the "Design Basis Threat." The act included provisions for fingerprinting and criminal background checks of security personnel, their use of firearms, and the unauthorized introduction of dangerous weapons. The designation of facilities subject to enforcement of penalties for sabotage expanded to include treatment and disposal facilities. As part of security response evaluations, the act requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to conduct "force-on-force" security exercises at nuclear power plants at least once every three years, and revise the "design-basis threat" to consider a wider variety of potential attacks. The NRC has strengthened its regulations on nuclear power plant security, but critics contend that implementation by the industry has been too slow and that further measures are needed. Vulnerability to a deliberate aircraft crash remains an outstanding issue, as the latest NRC rule making addresses only newly designed plants. Shortcomings in the performance of security contractors has drawn the attention of Congress. This report will be updated as events warrant.

Book excerpt: Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Nuclear Power Plant Security and Vulnerabilities Summary The physical security of nuclear power plants and their vulnerability to deliberate acts of terrorism was elevated to a national security concern following the attacks of September 11, 2001. [...] The security force must comply with NRC requirements on pre-hiring investigations and training.2 A fundamental concept in NRC's physical security requirements is the design basis threat (DBT), which establishes the severity of the potential attacks that a nuclear plant's security force must be capable of repelling. [...] NRC issued a series of security measures beginning in 2002, including a strengthening of the DBT and establishing the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR). [...] In 1967, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) instituted a rule that nuclear plants are not required to protect against an attack directed by an "enemy of the United States."4 That so-called "Enemy of the State Rule" specifies that nuclear power plants are not required to provide for design features or other measures for the specific purpose of protection against the effects of (a) attacks and destr [...] That order changed the DBT to "represent the largest reasonable threat against which a regulated private guard force should be expected to defend under existing law," according to the NRC announcement.7 In the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT05), Congress imposed a statutory requirement on the NRC to initiate rulemaking for revising the design basis threat.8 EPACT05 required NRC to consider 12 fac.

Book Synopsis Cyber Security and Safety of Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems by : Yastrebenetsky, Michael A.
Download or read book Cyber Security and Safety of Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems written by Yastrebenetsky, Michael A. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety and security are crucial to the operations of nuclear power plants, but cyber threats to these facilities are increasing significantly. Instrumentation and control systems, which play a vital role in the prevention of these incidents, have seen major design modifications with the implementation of digital technologies. Advanced computing systems are assisting in the protection and safety of nuclear power plants; however, significant research on these computational methods is deficient. Cyber Security and Safety of Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the digital developments of instrumentation and control systems for assuring the safety and security of nuclear power plants. While highlighting topics such as accident monitoring systems, classification measures, and UAV fleets, this publication explores individual cases of security breaches as well as future methods of practice. This book is ideally designed for engineers, industry specialists, researchers, policymakers, scientists, academicians, practitioners, and students involved in the development and operation of instrumentation and control systems for nuclear power plants, chemical and petrochemical industries, transport, and medical equipment.

Book excerpt: Protection of nuclear power plants from land-based assaults, deliberate aircraft crashes, and other terrorist acts has been a heightened national priority since the attacks of September 11, 2001. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has strengthened its regulations on nuclear reactor security, but critics contend that implementation by the industry has been too slow and that further measures are needed. Several bills to increase nuclear reactor security measures and requirements were introduced after the 9/11 attacks, along with provisions in an omnibus energy bill considered in the 108th Congress (H.R. 6). None of those measures were enacted, but further action on omnibus energy legislation is anticipated in the 109th Congress.

Book Synopsis Cyber Security at Civil Nuclear Facilities by : Caroline Baylon
Download or read book Cyber Security at Civil Nuclear Facilities written by Caroline Baylon and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, the number of forcibly displaced persons looked after by the UNHCR has reached 51.2 million--the highest number since World War II. Energy is a major challenge, not only in terms of the high costs to donors but also the health, environmental, and social costs for refugees and their host communities. At present the energy needs of millions of displaced people are being met inadequately and inefficiently, and not through the most effective or carbon-efficient interventions. This Chatham House report will outline the case for finding sustainable energy solutions that improve outcomes for health, security, livelihoods, emissions, and cost savings.
Book Synopsis Safety and Security of Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage by : National Research Council
Download or read book Safety and Security of Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-19 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a request from Congress, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Department of Homeland Security sponsored a National Academies study to assess the safety and security risks of spent nuclear fuel stored in cooling pools and dry casks at commercial nuclear power plants. The information provided in this book examines the risks of terrorist attacks using these materials for a radiological dispersal device. Safety and Security of Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel is an unclassified public summary of a more detailed classified book. The book finds that successful terrorist attacks on spent fuel pools, though difficult, are possible. A propagating fire in a pool could release large amounts of radioactive material, but rearranging spent fuel in the pool during storage and providing emergency water spray systems would reduce the likelihood of a propagating fire even under severe damage conditions. The book suggests that additional studies are needed to better understand these risks. Although dry casks have advantages over cooling pools, pools are necessary at all operating nuclear power plants to store at least the recently discharged fuel. The book explains it would be difficult for terrorists to steal enough spent fuel to construct a significant radiological dispersal device.
