The INPRO Collaborative Project, Proliferation Resistance and Safeguardability Assessment (PROSA) Tools, has unveiled its groundbreaking findings in this comprehensive publication. Developed with the unique requirements of national self-assessors in mind, the PROSA assessment process has been meticulously crafted to provide a tailored approach to conducting INPRO Nuclear Energy System Assessments for sustainability.

At the heart of this project lies the primary objective of simplifying and enhancing the understanding of the INPRO sustainability assessment in the realm of proliferation resistance. Through a rigorous process of exploration and refinement, the project has yielded valuable insights and methodologies that aim to streamline the assessment process and make it more accessible to a broader audience.

In addition to the lessons learned, this publication showcases the results obtained by applying the PROSA assessment to an illustrative case study. This practical demonstration illustrates the practical application of the refined methodology, highlighting its effectiveness in evaluating proliferation resistance within the INPRO framework.

The outcome of this project holds the potential to shape the future of the INPRO methodology manual, specifically in the area of proliferation resistance. By drawing upon the insights and methodologies developed within PROSA, the manual can be further refined and enhanced to better support national self-assessors in their efforts to assess the sustainability of nuclear energy systems.

This publication represents a significant milestone in the field of nuclear energy sustainability assessment, offering valuable insights and methodologies for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers alike. It underscores the commitment of the INPRO Collaborative Project to advancing the understanding and implementation of proliferation resistance principles in the nuclear energy sector.

As we delve into the pages of this publication, we are invited to explore the complexities of proliferation resistance, gain a deeper understanding of the INPRO sustainability assessment framework, and contribute to the ongoing efforts towards a safer and more sustainable future for nuclear energy.
