This panel will explore how advanced reactor developers could incorporate physical and cyber security considerations into the early stages of reactor design. By embedding security features within the architecture, rather than retrofitting them later, designers can streamline licensing, reduce operational burdens and long-term costs, and enhance public trust. Panelists will discuss methodologies, case studies, and emerging best practices, including risk-informed approaches, modeling tools, and regulator engagement strategies. The session aims to foster dialogue among reactor developers and security researchers on aligning innovation with robust, cost-effective security-by-design approaches.
