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.
