Abstract:
As the global demand for sustainable and low-carbon energy sources intensifies, both nuclear fusion and fission technologies are regaining importance. This study, rooted in previous research by the authors, focuses on human-induced risk factors affecting critical nuclear infrastructures such as fission and fusion energy plants. It addresses threats including sabotage, cyberattacks, insider threats, and malicious interference using internationally recognized risk assessment methodologies.
The paper also presents proactive strategies to enhance resilience—such as threat-specific site analysis, redundant security systems, and tailored response protocols—offering valuable insights for both power-generating facilities and research institutions. The work aims to bridge regulatory frameworks with strategic risk management in the nuclear sector.
