4.7 Modelling and Simulation for Nuclear Security

This WINS International Best Practice Guide introduces processes and practices that help organisations use modelling and simulation (M&S) to make nuclear security more effective.

The guide explains how organisations can use M&S to plan and assess their security systems and discusses several guiding principles, including abstraction, simplification and validation. It also explains how to create a planning document that supports M&S and several steps organisations can take to get started.

In addition, the guide discusses a variety of tools that support the application of M&S to security.
