Tamper Resistance - Nuclear Industry

Nuclear Industry

Nuclear reactors that are intended to be sold to countries that otherwise do not possess nuclear weapons must be made tamper-resistant to prevent nuclear proliferation. For example, the proposed SSTAR will feature a combination of anti-tamper techniques that will make it difficult to get at the nuclear material, ensure that where the reactors are transported to is closely tracked, and have alarms in place that sound if attempts at entry are detected (which can then be responded to by the military).

    No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.
