RPI’s research portfolio spans nuclear safety, radiation protection, environmental monitoring, and emerging security threats. Current and recent studies include:

  • IAEA CRP J02018: Assessing the Risk of Uncrewed Aerial and Ground Systems (UAS & UGS) Threats at Nuclear Facilities (2025–2028)

This ongoing study evaluates the vulnerabilities posed by drones and robotic systems to nuclear installations. It includes risk assessments, detection system deployment, cybersecurity enhancements, and emergency response protocols.

  • IAEA CRP J02019: Nuclear Security Implications of Counterfeit, Fraudulent, and Suspect Items (CFSI)

Focuses on developing a verification framework for nuclear facility equipment, using access control and surveillance systems as a case study.

  • IAEA CRP J02010: Preventive and Protective Measures Against Insider Threats at Nuclear Facilities

Developed methodologies for assessing and mitigating insider threats at GAEC facilities through international collaboration.

  • Modelling of the Interaction Processes in the Security System

This study explores the dynamics of physical protection systems for enhanced nuclear facility security.

  • Assessment of the Effective Physical Protection System Design and Implementation at a Radiological Facility (2022)
  • Supply Chain Nuclear Security: Challenges in the Procurement of Equipment at Nuclear Facilities (2024)
