In the framework of Generation IV International Forum (GIF), each reactor type is required to provide a report on Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection (PR&PP). In the steering committee of Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), a PR&PP report has been reviewed on specific designs.
But, since MSR can be applied to various fuel cycle, the authors have made comprehensive study on PR, based on preceding papers. As for PP of MSR, the authors started the study for threats on PP of LWR at first, and based on it, PP of MSR is studied.
These results have been provided to the steering committee of GIF-MSR, and is now being discussed.
