This report documents the status of a progrm to insert a nonproliferation MEU/Th fuel cycle into Fort St. Vrain. The conclusions reached from core design and fuel cycle management studies are presented in detail. The report also presents the results of studies to provide a verified computer library of programs for use in design and analysis of MEU fuel for Fort St. Vrain; preliminry fuel performance models for the prediction of MEU fuel failure and safety evaluations; interim design data for Ag and Pu transport in MEU/Th fuel materials; and results of R/B studies on various MEU fuel kernels.
