| Overview of the LWRS Program's Physical Security Pathway |
|---|
| The U.S. Department of Energy Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) Program's Physical Security Pathway helps define the direction and efforts to develop methods, tools, and technologies which will optimize, balance, and modernize a nuclear facility’s security posture. This LWRS research pathway: (1) conduct research on risk-informed techniques for physical security that account for a dynamic adversary; (2) apply advanced modeling and simulation tools to better inform physical-security scenarios and reduce uncertainties in force-on-force modeling; (3) assess benefits from proposed enhancements and novel mitigation strategies and explore changes to best practices, guides, or regulation to enable modernization; and (4) enhance and provide the technical basis for stakeholders to employ new security methods, tools, and technologies. |

Lead Author Name: Shawn St. Germain (shawn.stgermain@inl.gov)
Bio: Shawn St. Germain is the manager of the Reliability, Risk, and Resilience Sciences Department at Idaho National Laboratory. Additionally, he is the principal investigator for the Physical Security Pathway work at INL, an LWRS program that seeks to improve the efficiency of physical security at commercial nuclear power plants through the application of new technologies and risk methods. St. Germain has been with INL more than 15 years and has reactor operations, process engineering and Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) experience. He holds a master’s degree in nuclear engineering, an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. He was previously an SRO certified Shift Technical Advisor and Shift Support Supervisor at Columbia Generating Station, a commercial BWR, and a Nuclear Trained Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy.
