Wartime Nuclear Power Plant Security Protection Research

Abstract:

Nuclear power as an important energy which benefits human being,is being more and more widely used in many countries all over the world. Under the condition of information war, threat to nuclear power plant security from precision weapon and terrorist attack is serious. This paper analyzes major threats nuclear power plant be facing to in wartime such as obvious exposure symptoms, limited own protections and large impact on the war potential. Then several main methods are discussed to strengthen safety protection of nuclear power plant. Firstly, strive to improve the early warning ability of nuclear power plant. By this means, more time can be obtained to make nuclear power plant protection to prepare. Secondly, counterattacks, interference and disguise simultaneously should build another effective barrier. In the last, it is considered that research on protection and rescue of nuclear power station should be strengthened also.
