Speaker
Description
The UK has a long nuclear history stretching back to the late 1940s, when the world was a more innocent place and the worst we had to worry about was Soviet spies. Since then, there has been a proliferation of threats to nuclear safety and security, as well as the introduction of programmable electronics and computers into nuclear processes. Traditionally, the management of risks arising from the use of Operational Technology (OT) has fallen to IT and OT departments, and there has been little opportunity to tackle the process vulnerabilities giving rise to these risks.
Over the last decade, the industry has been steered by our regulator into adopting a "Secure by Design" approach to new nuclear facilities and major projects. This talk discusses what secure by design means to the UK nuclear industry (informed by Government-funded research undertaken by Rolls-Royce), how we are applying the principles to the design of the Rolls-Royce SMR, and lessons that we have learned along the way.
Summary
The practical application of Secure by Design to designing a nuclear power station, and lessons learned that can be applied in a general context to any large project with security requirements.
