Proliferation Resistance Characteristics for Civilian Nuclear Fuel Cycles Assessments

Rather than attempting a comprehensive overview of all previous studies, this paper aims at presenting a representative sample of previous approaches; a criteria adopted for the identification of the studies to be considered has been that of selecting only studies available in open literature. This paper will briefly review in a critical way some of the past studies carried out in this field, concentrating on the identified sets of characteristics and metrics to be used to characterise the proliferation resistance of Nuclear Energy Systems. The matter is also relevant to the PR&PP expert group initiative to which JRC collaborates.
