In a global first, US scientists demonstrate quantum encryption in a live nuclear reactor using quantum key distribution approach.
Researchers at Purdue University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US have successfully demonstrated secure quantum communications in a live nuclear reactor. The researchers used quantum key distribution from Toshiba on Purdue’s PUR-1 reactor to achieve this global first of implementing quantum encryption at a nuclear facility. With the global energy sector looking for cleaner ways to power the economy, nuclear fission technology is poised for a major comeback.
“Equipped with state-of-the-art digital instrumentation and control systems and a digital twin, PUR-1 is a versatile research and education platform for exploring cutting-edge technologies in reactor operations and cybersecurity.”The researchers teamed up with Toshiba to test the QKD system on the reactor.
