Future proliferation-proof fuel cycles are proposed which make use of methods of actinide tansmutation.Reactors operating in the thorium/uranium fuel cyce are loaded with <20% U-235 uranium fuel which can be made proliferation-proof against re-enrichment by adding a certain ppm level of U-232.Proliferation-proof Uranium/Plutonium and Thorium/Uranium Fuel CyclesEnrichmentAnreicherungWiederaufarbeitunghochangereichertes UranPlutoniumProliferationReprocessinghigh enriched Uranium.ProliferationKessler Günterauth978138BOOK9910346771903321Proliferation-proof Uranium3022011UNINA
