โฆ Synopsis
The paper deals with comparison of proliferation resistance of essential fissile/fissionable compositions emerged in potential fuel cycles oriented on production, use and storage of denatured plutonium. The main focus is made on elaboration of associated criteria to bring this comparison on a quantitative base. New evaluation function e attractiveness is introduced that largely relies on a ratio of function of a-Rossi (that reflects energy yield) to characteristics reflecting technological difficulties in bringing nuclear material to supercritical state.
