10.1 Introduction
Nuclear.power.plant.(NPP).safeguards.are.vital.because.of.possible.security.
failures..Nanoscale.nuclear.material.could.be.used.for.nonpeaceful.purposes.
by. terrorists. or. nations,. for. political. or. inancial. reasons.. These. nanoscale.
nuclear. materials. are. nuclear. wastes,. nanoluids,. nanotechnology. applied.
power. cells,. nuclear. material. in. space,. substances. in. radiology. and. oncol-
ogy,.and.so.on..In.the.case.of.NPPs,.dangerous.attacks.as.a.result.of.terror.
or.sabotage.can.happen.without.warning..The.possibility.of.terrorist.attack.
should.be.estimated.using.random.number.sampling.and.numerical.quanti-
ication..It.is.suggested.that.the.safeguards.make.use.of.the.regulations.of.the.
related.systems..The.perception.is.that.pending.nuclear.disarmament,.world.
security.is.better.served.with.fewer.rather.than.more.nuclear.weapons.and.
nuclear.weapon.states.(IAEA.[International.Atomic.Energy.Agency].2004)..In.
addition,.safeguards.have.been.studied.in.several.industrial.areas.(Johnson.
2010;.Yun.et.al..2009;.Zhong.et.al..2006).
Nuclear.power.plants.are.used.for.the.modeling.of.this.study..The.NPPs.
in.operation.in.the.Republic.of.South.Korea.since.1978.are.listed.in.Table 10.1.
(KHNP. [Korea. Hydro. and. Nuclear. Power]. 2009).. The. irst. group. includes.
