SMR-300 is engineered to be an extremely secure and modern industrial installation. Consider the following:
- SMR-300 protects its safety systems within a monolithic steel and concrete shield, impregnable to natural disasters or security threats.
- SMR-300’s components lie deep below the ground, inaccessible to direct assault by drones or missiles.
- SMR-300’s small land area requirement and simple plant perimeter design lends itself to full monitoring and surveillance using a small security force. The small land area is also readily adapted to a remote or automated security monitoring program.
- During operation, SMR-300’s containment is closed and secured, protecting the reactor core and spent fuel pool.
- The SMR-300 control room is underground, with multiple layers of security. Further, the control system is distributed to eliminate the possibility of catastrophic failures and designed to ensure that any human action, intentional or not, is unable to override the safe operation of the plant.
