The Ways to Improve Nuclear Cybersecurity for Zero Emission

Abstract

Cybersecurity is another important issue for nuclear power plants. Modification of data by unauthorized persons can cause serious problems in nuclear power plants. In this context, it is vitally important to take the necessary precautions by producing the most accurate strategy. This chapter aims to generate appropriate strategies for the nuclear energy investors to enhance cybersecurity. In the analysis process, DEMATEL approach is taken into consideration. Increasing technological investments plays the most significant role to improve cybersecurity in nuclear power plants. Hence, the priorities should be given for the technological investments. This situation helps to create more effective nuclear energy investments. It is necessary to ensure the cybersecurity of nuclear power plants by making technological investments. Better technological investments will help to better provide the infrastructure to be protected from these risks. Otherwise, power outages may occur as a result of changing the data of nuclear power plants. This will reduce the efficiency of the electricity generation process. On the other hand, as a result of cyberattacks, it is possible that nuclear reactions cannot be stopped. This increases the probability of an explosion at the nuclear power plant.
