Security and Risk Mitigation - Practical and Cost-Effective Solutions by the U.S. Nuclear Industry

摘要

The highly regulated United States nuclear industry must balance safety, performance, and cost. Safety to the public, competition with other energy producing industries, and the large capital and O&M costs of nuclear are exaggerated compared to other industries. Among these clashing constraints is the intersection of plant safety and security. Many view security as taking away from the bottom line of a plant's performance; however, the current global climate dictates the need to examine critical infrastructure security in a dynamic and effective manner while minimizing the cost and operational impacts to highly complex systems.
