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.
