    The current unstable geopolitical situation has once again, after many years, brought back the everlasting threat of a nuclear conflict.

    This talk is intended to contribute further to a better understanding of the different cyber-physical attacks that may impact nuclear facilities, driven from the perspective of hypothetical, but realistic, state-sponsored operations. One of the novel aspects of this research is that it is based on the analysis of specific digital Instrumentation and Control equipment (Class 1E), that is currently deployed in multiple Nuclear Power Plants across Europe (including Swiss NPP such as Beznau or Gösgen), USA, Russia, or China.
