Introduction to Physical Security:
Sandia National Laboratories developed and refined the Design Evaluation Process Outline (DEPO) to provide a systems engineering method for protecting nuclear reactors and facilities. This lecture draws upon the comprehensive training provided by Sandia to various countries as part of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) international training course. While safety measures are essential for preventing accidents and safeguards are crucial for thwarting proliferation, security plays a pivotal role in mitigating malicious actions from both insider and outsider threats. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the diverse scientific disciplines that contribute to physical protection strategies, as well as an understanding of how domestic and global security policies are enforced to protect some of our most vital assets. Through this discussion, we aim to illuminate the multifaceted approach required to ensure the security of existing and emerging nuclear technologies in an increasingly complex world.
Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-mission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.
