We are living in the era of nuclear renaissance. This article explores the cybersecurity challenges associated with Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
There are over 80 SMR designs in development across 18 countries, with about ten designs approaching real-life deployments.
The promise of SMRs is to miniaturise and industrialise the deployment of the mini-nuclear reactors with minimal service requirements and a lifespan of 60-80 years. SMRs are promised to be inherently safer than traditional reactors. This article explores the role of cybersecurity in modernised nuclear and SMRs.
