The DOE Office of Nuclear Energy Advanced Reactor Safeguards and Security (ARSS) program area seeks to support domestic deployment of advanced nuclear reactors by mitigating safeguards and security roadblocks. The program applies laboratory research and development to address near-term challenges advanced reactor vendors face in meeting Physical Protection System (PPS), Material Control and Accounting (MC&A), and Cybersecurity requirements for U.S. construction. This panel will provide a discussion on how ARSS cybersecurity efforts are adapting discoveries and best practices from other sectors to the rigorous operational technology needs at nuclear facilities.
