The Generation IV (GEN IV) Nuclear Energy Systems International Forum (GIF) Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection Working Group (PRPP WG) was established in December 2002 in order to develop the PR&PP evaluation methodology for GEN IV nuclear energy systems. In the final report of "PR&PP Evaluation; Example Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR) Full System Case Study," issued in October 2009, the demonstration study of PR&PP evaluation with the qualitative approach are summarized using ESFR with four scenario threats. The present paper reviews and analyzes some results of the ESFR case study, and identifies the challenges and direction for the PR&PP evaluation methodology with quantitative approach.
