Overview

The course "Impact of Digital Technology on the Nuclear Industry" is a two-day program focusing on uncertainty modeling and cyber security in the nuclear sector. Day 1 covers tools for uncertainty quantification, sensitivity analysis, and optimization, with case studies as practical applications. Day 2 delves into digital technology, cyber security, network security, and system-of-systems security. Targeted at engineers and scientists involved in nuclear structure design and operation, the course aims to enhance participants' understanding of these critical aspects in the industry.

Who should attend

Engineers, Scientists.

Course Content

ABOUT THE COURSE

The course will be covered in two parts.
Day 1 will be dealt with various tools to address uncertainty. Modern Monte Carlo methods and surrogate approaches for uncertainty quantification will be presented. This will also include sensitivity analysis and optimisation under uncertainty. Finally, a few case studies as an application of this will be shown.
Day 2 will cover cyber security. This will include digital technology, cyber security, network security and system-off-system security.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers and scientists involved in the design, operation and assessment of nuclear structures

Lecture Content

Lecture 1-5
This will be dealt with various tools to address uncertainty. Modern Monte Carlo methods and
surrogate approaches for uncertainty quantification will be presented. This will also include sensitivity
analysis and optimisation under uncertainty. Finally, a few case studies as an application of this will
be shown.

Lecture 6:Introduction to Digital Technology
Includes basic concepts, principles and processes of computer systems, e.g. computer architecture,
operating systems, networks, distributed systems, software applications such as embedded systems
and databases, software development life cycles, and software qualities such as security and
reliability.

Lecture 7: Introduction to Cyber Security
Covers general concepts, principles and methods of cybersecurity, including security concepts,
security vulnerabilities and threats, security policies and models, access control, personal computer
protection, data encryption and decryption, network security, firewalls and intrusion detection, and
database security

Lecture 8: Network Security
Includes a more focused introduction to network/communication security protection, e.g.
cryptographic concepts, cryptographic systems, digital signatures and public key certifications,
network-based user authentication, secure email systems, secure Internet protocols, virtual private
networks, secure web communication, and wireless security.

Lecture 9: System-of-Systems Security
Covers general security issues and challenges of Interoperations among increasingly integrated
computer systems, e.g. concepts of ubiquitous computing and IoT (Internet of things), component
systems and characteristics, systems composition, security policies and evaluation.

Testimonials

We’ve helped thousands of professionals grow their skills and confidence. Hear directly from the people who’ve taken our training courses.

The course was exceptional, well run in terms of delivery of information, IT online course but seamless. Very interesting examples of temporary works failures applicable to the businesses we worked in. Break out activities / group examples worked very well and were again well managed by the trainer. Fantastic course, I will recommend to others! Best course I have attended in years!

CITB Temporary Works Co-Ordinator

Black & Veatch

The trainers knowledge was excellent and I liked his examples and how he could relate them to every day relatable examples that we could all understand. Coming from different industries and sectors his examples were a common ground. It was handled very well virtually and the engagement worked with his questioning and answering
