Abstract
The collaborative project on the sodium fast reactor (CP-ESFR) is an international project where 25 European partners develop R&D solutions for a European Sodium Fast Reactor concept. The Project is funded by the 7th EU Framework Programme and covers topics such that the fuel, the fuel element and the fuel cycle, the safety concepts, the reactor architectures and components and the balance of plant. Within the sub-project 3, dedicated to safety, a task, addresses proliferation resistance issues. In the paper some of the core features and the so called working horses, for a loop and a pool Sodium fast reactor concept are presented, by highlighting those more relevant for the proliferation resistance aspects. Some of the activities carried out in the project for its proliferation resistance evaluation are then illustrated, in particular those related to material type considerations on the possible diversion targets.
