The NEI 08‑09 Cyber Security Plan for Nuclear Power Reactors is a regulatory standard designed to protect public health and safety by reducing the risk of radiological sabotage resulting from cyberattacks. It establishes a structured defensive strategy that includes defined security controls and a layered defensive architecture for digital systems associated with nuclear reactor operations. The plan is based on recognized guidance from NIST SP 800‑82 for industrial control system security and NIST SP 800‑53 for federal information system security controls. NEI 08‑09 helps nuclear facility operators implement consistent, robust cybersecurity practices that address both regulatory expectations and the unique safety, reliability, and risk considerations of nuclear power generation environment
