Abstract
The Physical Protection System (PPS) plays an important role to ensuring the security of each nuclear facility from theft, sabotage and other illegal actions. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the PPS must be performed periodically to ensure that the PPS objective requirements are met and we can obtain the reliable PPS. The objective of this study is to evaluate the physical protection system performance using adversary-path analysis for hypothetical nuclear reactor facility in anticipating attacks with the highest consequences. We perform the calculation of several adversary-path based on sabotage scenario using a computer model. The calculation results provide feedback for the PPS designer whether to accept the current design or will strengthen it to obtain the reliable PPS.
