Abstract
The principles used in the design of low- and medium-power nuclear power systems to decrease the proliferation risk for nuclear materials as well as the results of a comparative analysis of GT-MGR, KLT-40, ABV, and foreign-produced light-water PWRs from this standpoint are presented. The INPRO methodology and modified KAERI for examining the DUPIC fuel cycle are used for nonproliferation assessment. The results show that at the stage where fuel is used in a reactor the resistance to nonproliferation of nuclear materials for the facilities which are now being designed is close to that determined for PWR and is even higher for GT-MGR with low-enrichment uranium fuel.
