Abstract :
The US Department of Energy has an ambitious R&D program under way to make rapid strides toward enhancing the Nation´s capability to protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from destabilizing energy-related critical infrastructure protection events. Work is already under way on two of nine research and development activities: the Infrastructure Assurance Outreach Program (vulnerability assessments) and the Energy Infrastructure Interdependencies Program. The two thrust areas of the R&D program are analysis and risk management and protection and mitigation technologies
