This session presents an update to improvements in security technology and staffing leading to cost reductions while retaining key security capabilities. Industry cost and staffing data support insightful analyses identifying where cost reductions have been implemented and where additional opportunities remain. Improvements are put in the perspective of historic and current NRC rulemaking. Fleet modifications implement latest technologies and approaches which were only recently available.
The emergence of AI may provide future benefits.
