Physical Protection Recommendations for Small Modular Reactor Facilities

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1837151· OSTI ID:1837151
This recommendation document will provide international partners insight on physical protection systems (PPSs) for small modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs create many unique challenges for physical protection that must be addressed in design and implementation. This document will attempt to highlight possible challenges of SMRs and identify potential physical protection recommendations to mitigate these challenges. These recommendations are based on hypothetical SMR facilities and PPSs and their effectiveness against hypothetical adversaries.
