Secure embedded intelligence in nuclear systems: Framework and methods
Humberto E. Garcia, S.E. Aumeier, Ahmad Al Rashdan, Bri Rolston
Abstract
We present potential approaches for implementing secure embedded intelligence (SEI) and integrated state awareness (ISA) in advanced nuclear energy (NE) systems. A framework for deliberate design and operations of such systems is provided, and potential risks, challenges and impacts discussed. Activities that should be carried out in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) opportunities are identified. Resulting implications for operation of ‘smart nuclear systems’, including remote operations, flexible operations, predictive maintenance, inherent digital security, and autonomous controls, are discussed.
