Abstract<br />

The potential of the accelerator driven systems (ADS) is evaluated for enhancing the proliferation<br />

resistance of LWR-MOX fuel. It is considered as a concept to create an inherent radiation barrier in<br />

MOX fuel by the admixture of 232 U and followed by a short-term irradiation in a blanket of the ADS<br />

with a solid-state target. ADS with extremely moderate physical parameters of pool-type sub-critical<br />

light-water cooled blanket can be applied to create the inherent radiation barrier in fresh MOX fuel<br />

assemblies at the level of Spent Fuel Standard. It would promote development of proliferationresistant<br />

nuclear fuel cycles.<br />
