The Generation IV (GEN IV) International Forum Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection (PR & PP) Working Group is in charge of developing a methodology for evaluating PR & PP of potential GEN IV options. The present report, published in Oct. 2009, was used as a supporting study for development of the evaluation methodology for PR & PP, summarizing the case study of the PR & PP evaluation of Example Sodium Fast Reactor (ESFR) co located with a dry fuel storage facility and a pyrochemical spent-fuel reprocessing facility, a hypothetical nuclear energy system, consisting of nine main system elements, and it provides for designers the practical experience of applying the PR&PP evaluation methodology to a nuclear energy system. The development of the future nuclear fuel cycle system with sufficient PR & PP features is a crucial task in Japan. With the usefulness the report, it was translated and published here as a Japanese-language edition with the concurrence of the OECD-NEA.
