Security by Design Business Case Development

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

Security-by-design (SeBD) is considered an essential component in the development of advanced / small modular reactors (A/SMRs), with the potential to minimize long-term operational costs through efficient placement and design of physical protection systems. However, without an explicit business case and guidance, true SeBD could elude developers, leading to suboptimal security solutions and impeding new nuclear deployment. This report presents a review of potential pitfalls for advanced reactor vendors and builds a business case for implementing SeBD into the quality assurance program for advanced reactor designers. This report also presents revenue stream options to a company with an SeBD program.
