Advanced Reactor Physical Security Workshop with Embedded MC&A Topical

Save the Date: March 2-6, 2026

Sandia National Laboratories

The Advanced Reactor Safeguards and Security program, sponsored by DOE NE, will be hosting an Advanced Reactor Physical Security Workshop at Sandia National Laboratories March 2-6, 2026. This workshop will be targeted on physical security for U.S. domestic deployment of advanced reactors and fuel cycle facilities following either DOE or NRC siting with a focus on alignment of regulatory requirements. The meeting will also cover Material Control and Accounting. The following is an outline of the topics covered:

  • Physical Protection requirements and recommendations for all classes of reactors and fuel cycle facilities
  • Alignment between DOE Orders (for DOE Siting) with NRC licensing including alignment to new NRC rulemaking
  • Breakout sessions on Material Control and Accounting for reactors and fuel cycle facilities.
  • Optimization and size-appropriate approaches

This workshop will be targeted to the nuclear industry and best attended by licensing, physical protection, or material control and accounting leads at your companies. More detailed information will be coming in December. For any questions, please contact:
