T8 Two Decades of Nuclear Cybersecurity: What Does the Future Hold?
This session will explore the past two decades of cybersecurity requirements and implementation in the nuclear industry. Presenters will discuss the initial cybersecurity requirements imposed by the security orders issued after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and how they were built on to establish the robust requirements in place today. The session will then pivot to consider where cybersecurity goes from here, addressing the cybersecurity challenges associated with the application of novel technologies and the operation of SMRs and microreactors. Presenters will discuss the agency research, both planned and ongoing, to support cybersecurity licensing and oversight of these applications.
