Remote detection of undeclared nuclear reactors remains one of the key goals concerning global nuclear security. To meet this goal the WATCHMAN collaboration has proposed the construction of a water based antineutrino detector, sited 13 to 25 kilometres from a nuclear reactor complex. Antineutrinos from the reactor interact in the water of the detector via an inverse beta decay interaction resu...

This paper summarizes a study of the implications of a technology-neutral regulation for advanced nuclear power plant designs and proposes a predominately rationalist approach to future nuclear plant regulations. The current body of regulations has been developed and evolved over the past 50 years with consideration of the knowledge and incidents experienced from operation of the Light Water Re...
