This article summarizes the work of the recently completed nonproliferation Alternative Systems Assessment Program (NASAP) and the International-Nuclear Fuel-Cycle Evaluation (INFCE). The methodology used in proliferation assessment is outlined, and the results of the evaluation of alternative cycles are presented. Uranium resource constraints are analyzed both in a US and a world context, since resource constraints are the main driving force propelling nations toward adoption of less proliferation-resistant fuel cycles. Other institutional factors are briefly summarized, as are implications for nuclear research and development. The major differences in outlook between NASAP and INFCE are presented.
