Cyber-Security Evaluation for a Hypothetical Nuclear Power Plant using the Attack Tree Method
Abstract: The widespread introduction of digital network systems in nuclear power plants has increased such infrastructures vulnerability to cyber-attacks. The attack tree approach to evaluate and analyze cyber-attacks quantitatively, in a nuclear power plants' network system is presented in this work. Information on a hypothetical nuclear power plants' network system was used to build attack trees that show different attack paths that external adversaries can use to compromise the network system. …

Bisotopological and Bisogeometric Properties of Intense Solar BIS Processes: Origin of Mysterious and Dynamic Solints in the Discrete Spaces
Abstract: This paper deals with the bisotopological and bisogeometric properties of intense BIS processes taking place in the solar nuclei. The term BIS signifies Breakdown of Integrated System and solints stands for solar intelligent structure. BIS processes are inductive in nature. We have observed the BIS processes occurring in this globe and have studied its impact on the solar nucleus. The sun itself has its very complicated and intelligent structure which …

Numerical Model for Water Hammer in Homogeneous Equilibrium Two Phase Fluid
Abstract: Generally, water hammer can occur in any thermal-hydraulic systems. Rapid closing or opening of a valve causes pressure transients due to the sudden transformation of kinetic energy into the potential energy. The resulting high pressure surge upstream of the valve leads to the temporary increase in pressure. If the increased pressure surpasses the safety margin for the pipe, it can lead to failure of the pipeline. A mathematical model is …
