Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Sector-Specific Plan

The Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste Sector-Specific Plan is a national sectoral plan of the United States of America. Its main objective is to support national security, public health and safety, and economic stability by enhancing, where necessary and reasonably achievable, its existing high level of readiness to promote the security and resilience of the Nuclear Sector in an all-hazards environment, and to lead by example to improve the Nation’s overall critical infrastructure readiness.
More specifically, it aims to establish robust collaboration and communication and promote continuous learning among Nuclear Sector partners and cross-sector stakeholders; continuously identify and assess sector-specific threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences to enable a risk-informed approach to security and resilience enhancements; coordinate with sector partners to develop programs and measures that cost-effectively reduce physical and cyber risks from all-hazard incidents impacting Nuclear Sector assets; support advance planning and risk mitigation that enables coordinated response and rapid recovery to ensure safe and resilient operation of critical Nuclear Sector services; and promote continuous learning and adaptation among global Nuclear Sector and cross-sector partners during exercises, incidents, and planning.
