Enhancing Nuclear Security with eVinci™ Micro Reactor

The Importance of Physical Security in Nuclear Operations

In the nuclear industry, physical security plays a crucial role in ensuring safe day-to-day operations. Meeting regulatory requirements and safeguarding the health and safety of the public are paramount, making an efficient and effective security program essential. According to a DOE report on Light Water Reactor Sustainability, physical security can constitute up to 20% of the nuclear workforce at a site, with costs potentially reaching 7% of the annual total cost of power generation.

Comprehensive Physical Security Solutions by Westinghouse

Westinghouse offers a comprehensive suite of physical security products and services designed to address the varied needs of nuclear facilities. Their offerings include vulnerability assessments, gap assessments, RAPT analysis, risk assessments, computer system design and upgrades, site-specific engineering, and system installation/construction. By providing a full range of services, Westinghouse ensures that your site remains compliant with regulations such as 10 CFR 73.55, while simultaneously reducing operating costs.

Hands-On Expertise in Security Program Design

What sets Westinghouse apart is their team of engineers who not only hold degrees but also have practical hands-on training and experience. Each subject matter expert (SME) is certified in areas like explosive breaching, mechanical breaching, close quarters combat, and long-range marksmanship.
