The commercial nuclear power industry principally uses low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels in Light Water Reactors (LWR). However, the worldwide reserves of uranium are limited and, although the actual quantity remains to be established, it is generally agreed that these resources, which provide the only naturally occurring fissile isotope U-235, will be exhausted in the foreseeable future. This paper discusses International Fuel Service Centers (IFSC), in which the sensitive fuel cycle facilities are grouped into a common, heavily safeguarded site. The study described was initiated as part of the Non-Proliferation Alternative Systems Assessment Program (NASAP).
