“…The probabilities that AVERT uses for weapons and detection change depending on whether the scenario is taking place during the day or night or during a storm. Previous models for calculating adversary success have relied heavily on mathematical models without the consideration of the plant layout [10]. AVERT allows users to see how layout also affects guard success.…”

This research has investigated the effectiveness of the proposed security plan for the ONP-300 through the use of a simulation software developed by ARES Security Corporation which evaluates the plant design and security plan. This paper updates the security strategy in the earlier 2016 paper (ICONE24-61029, Charlotte, NC, Kindfuller et. al.) with the following significant additions: a modification of the plant design for security optimization, changes in the guard force based on simulations, placement of the protective barrier to prevent damage from ship explosions, and establishment of the shore station guard force, response team and key facilities.

Summary An increasing number of countries have taken nuclear energy as a preferred approach in response to the environment deterioration and energy supply deficit. The rapid expansion of nuclear technologies, however, would pose a great challenge to nuclear non‐proliferation, especially for the Generation IV nuclear reactor systems, which significantly differ from current nuclear fuel systems. This paper gives an overview of non‐proliferation research activities worldwide and outlines the existing problems, especially in non‐proliferation assessment. Because of numerous processes and various types of variables involved in nuclear fuel cycles (NFC), it is difficult to obtain a quantitative and objective assessment on non‐proliferation. In addition, the influences imposed by national nuclear policy on non‐proliferation have been rarely studied because of their large uncertainties, which may not precisely reflect the real non‐proliferation status in a specific country. In view of the above issues, we put forward an assessment framework by considering impact factors of national nuclear policy and by employing multi‐mathematical models to address some of the issues including subjectivity and uncertainties in the current assessment methodologies.
