RIGHT FROM THE DESIGNING STATE OF A POWER PLANT, SAFETY IS A TOP PRIORITY BECAUSE IT HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF REDUCING PROBABILITY OF INCIDENTS. THAT SAFETY IS ESTABLISHED THANKS TO THE USE OF TECHNICAL INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO ENSURE TOP LEVELS OF QUALITY AND TRUSTWORTHINESS OF EVERY SINGLE MECHANICAL COMPONENT OF THE POWER PLANT. “ENSURING QUALITY IN EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL PART OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR, WILL ENSURE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE ENTIRE SET”.

MANUFACTURERS OF MECHANICAL COMPONENTS TO BE INSTALLED IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR ARE COMPANIES CERTIFIED BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WHICH FORCE THEM TO PRODUCE “PAPER BASED DOCUMENTS” WHERE ALL TRACEABILITY DATA OF EVERY SINGLE PRODUCTIVE PROCESS THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF EVERY COMPONENT IS INCLUDED.

HERE IS WHERE WE CAN FIND A VULNERABILITY SPOT IN THE QUALITY SYSTEM BECAUSE THOSE DOCUMENTS COULD BE LOST, MODIFIED OR REPLACED BY ACCIDENT OR DELIBERATELY AND THEREFORE AUTHENTICITY OF THE TRACEABILITY OF THAT COMPONENT WILL BE LOST AND THEREFORE IT WILL STOP BEING “TRUSTWORTHY”.

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTED IN THE PRODUCTION AND SUPPLYING OF MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF NUCLEAR USAGE IS THE SOLUTION TO THAT PROBLEM. USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN THE DOCUMENTARY RECORD OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES CREATES AN ADDITIONAL SECURITY LAYER TO THE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF EVERY PART OF THE NUCLEAR REACTOR.

USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, THE COMPANY NUCLEARIS HAS DEVELOPED A TRACEABILITY PLATFORM FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF MECHANICAL COMPONENTS OF NUCLEAR USAGE, ADDING AN EXTRA LAYER OF SECURITY TO THE QUALITY SYSTEM. WITH THIS DECENTRALIZED APPLICATION, MANUFACTURERS SEAL ON THE PLATFORM TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS OF THEIR INDUSTRIAL PROCESS. “THE MOMENT IT IS DONE AND ITS DIGITAL PRINT IS STORED, IT BECOMES IMMUTABLE AND ETERNAL. THIS METHODOLOGY ELIMINATES ALL POSSIBILITY FOR FUTURE MODIFICATIONS OF THE DOCUMENTS ADDING VALUE AND RELIABILITY TO THE FINAL PRODUCT AND THEREFORE TO THE LEVEL OF SAFETY OF THE ENTIRE POWER PLANT.

BY THE END OF 2008, AN ACADEMIC THESIS WAS PUBLISHED CREATING WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE BIGGEST DECENTRALIZED NETWORK IN THE WORLD FUNCTIONING AT THE SAME TIME ON THOUSANDS OF COMPUTERS, GLOBAL SERVERS, WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY COMPUTING CAPACITY AND IMPOSSIBLE TO MODIFY OR SHUT DOWN. DECENTRALIZATION PROVIDES THE NETWORK INHERENT STRENGTH AND SECURITY REGARDING EXTERNAL ATTACKS WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN IN CENTRALIZED SYSTEMS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS THAT WHAT IS UPLOADED TO THE BLOCKCHAIN ARE ONLY ALPHANUMERICAL CODES CALLED HASHES THAT ARE CRYPTOGRAPHIC IDs (“DIGITAL PRINTS”) REPRESENTING IN AN UNIQUE WAY ALL DOCUMENTS. WITH THIS BRIEF DESCRIPTION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT INFORMATION IN THE DOCUMENTS DOES NOT HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
