The vulnerability of nuclear plants to deliberate attack is of concern in the area of nuclear safety and security. Nuclear power plants, civilian research reactors, certain naval fuel facilities, uranium enrichment plants, fuel fabrication plants, and even potentially uranium mines are vulnerable to attacks which could lead to widespread radioactive contamination. The attack threat is of several general types: commando-like ground-based attacks on equipment which if disabled could lead to a reactor core meltdown or widespread dispersal of radioactivity; and external attacks such as an aircraft crash into a reactor complex, or cyber attacks.

Les centrals nuclears, els reactors d'investigació civil, certes instal·lacions de combustible, les plantes d'enriquiment d'urani, o de fabricació de combustible, i fins i tot les mines d'urani, potencialment, són vulnerables als atacs que podrien donar lloc a una contaminació radioactiva generalitzada. L'amenaça d'atac pot ser de diversos tipus: atacs terrestres que podrien portar a una fusió del nucli del reactor; atacs aeris, com un accident d'avió en un complex del reactor; o els . La Comissió 9/11 dels Estats Units va dir que les centrals nuclears van ser considerats blancs potencials pels atacants dels atemptats de l'11 de setembre de 2001. Si els grups terroristes danyessin suficientment els sistemes de seguretat que conduís a una fusió del nucli de la central nuclear o de les piscines que contenen el , això podria dur a la contaminació radioactiva generalitzada. Els reactors nuclears es converteixen en blancs preferits durant un conflicte militar i, en els últims tres decennis, han estat atacats repetidament per les forces aèries, o bé per ocupacions, invasions i campanyes. Diversos actes de desobediència civil a partir de 1980 pel grup antinuclear i pacifista Plowshares han demostrat com instal·lacions d'armes nuclears poden ser penetrades, mostrant falles extraordinàries de seguretat a les plantes d'armes nuclears als Estats Units. L'Administració Nacional de Seguretat Nuclear ha reconegut la gravetat de l'acció que Plowshares efectuà el 2012. Experts en polítiques de no proliferació han posat en dubte "l'ús de contractistes privats per garantir la seguretat en les instal·lacions que fabriquen i emmagatzemen el material militar més perillós del govern". El tràfic de materials d'armes nuclears al mercat negre són una preocupació global, i hi ha preocupació per la possible detonació d'una petita arma nuclear, duta a terme per un grup terrorista, en una gran ciutat, amb importants pèrdues de vides i béns. Stuxnet és un cuc informàtic descobert el juny de 2010 que és es creu que va ser creat pels Estats Units i Israel per atacar les instal·lacions nuclears de l'Iran. (ca)
  • The vulnerability of nuclear plants to deliberate attack is of concern in the area of nuclear safety and security. Nuclear power plants, civilian research reactors, certain naval fuel facilities, uranium enrichment plants, fuel fabrication plants, and even potentially uranium mines are vulnerable to attacks which could lead to widespread radioactive contamination. The attack threat is of several general types: commando-like ground-based attacks on equipment which if disabled could lead to a reactor core meltdown or widespread dispersal of radioactivity; and external attacks such as an aircraft crash into a reactor complex, or cyber attacks. The United States 9/11 Commission has said that nuclear power plants were potential targets originally considered for the September 11, 2001 attacks. If terrorist groups could sufficiently damage safety systems to cause a core meltdown at a nuclear power plant, and/or sufficiently damage spent fuel pools, such an attack could lead to widespread radioactive contamination. The Federation of American Scientists have said that if nuclear power use is to expand significantly, nuclear facilities will have to be made extremely safe from attacks that could release massive quantities of radioactivity into the community. New reactor designs have features of passive nuclear safety, which may help. In the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission carries out "Force on Force" exercises at all nuclear power plant sites at least once every three years. Nuclear reactors become preferred targets during military conflict and, over the past three decades, have been repeatedly attacked during military air strikes, occupations, invasions and campaigns. Various acts of civil disobedience since 1980 by the peace group Plowshares have shown how nuclear weapons facilities can be penetrated, and the group's actions represent extraordinary breaches of security at nuclear weapons plants in the United States. The National Nuclear Security Administration has acknowledged the seriousness of the 2012 Plowshares action. Non-proliferation policy experts have questioned "the use of private contractors to provide security at facilities that manufacture and store the government's most dangerous military material". Nuclear weapons materials on the black market are a global concern, and there is concern about the possible detonation of a dirty bomb by a militant group in a major city. The number and sophistication of cyber attacks is on the rise. Stuxnet is a computer worm discovered in June 2010 that is believed to have been created by the United States and Israel to attack Iran's uranium enrichment facilities. It caused major damage to the facility by operating the centrifuges in erratic and unintended ways. The computers of South Korea's nuclear plant operator (KHNP) were hacked in December 2014. The cyber attacks involved thousands of phishing emails containing malicious code, and information was stolen. Neither of these attacks directly involved nuclear reactors or their facilities. (en)
