In Hungary, the minimum requirements for the physical protection of nuclear power plants are regulated by specific sectoral legislations, unlike other critical national installations, due to the specific characteristics of the field. To facilitate compliance with international standards, the conceptual framework and technical criteria required by national legislation, and to ensure a sufficiently effective system against the attacks defined in the Design Basis Threat for the installation, guidelines are provided to assist the Designers and Operators of the Physical Protection System. The study introduces the nuclear power plant’s defense related key national legislation and basic terms, in accordance with international agreements and recommendations.
