# Ghana, INL Identify Radiation Data Risks

A conceptual study led by Ghana’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority with participation from Idaho National Laboratory identifies cloud and supply-chain pathways that could allow attackers to falsify radiation-monitoring data without physical access to sensors. The study announces no solicitation, award, or funding, but highlights security concerns relevant to contractors supporting nuclear facilities and monitoring programs.

- Contractors serving these programs can evaluate capabilities for sensor-to-system data integrity, secure cloud configuration, continuous monitoring, and incident response, which the study identifies as areas of concern.
- Procurement teams may use the findings to assess whether existing monitoring and cloud support services address supply-chain risks and unauthorized data manipulation.
- The research signals potential demand for third-party assurance services, but does not establish a funded opportunity or a mandatory new requirement.
