DESCRIPTION:The application of civil nuclear technology entails the risk t
 hat nuclear material or knowledge is illegally diverted and used for milit
 ary purposes. The clandestine spread of nuclear material or knowledge is c
 alled proliferation. In a globalising world\, where more and more countrie
 s are developing nuclear power\, the question on how to secure a peaceful 
 use of nuclear technology and prevent proliferation\, becomes increasingly
  more important. Guaranteeing non-proliferation is a common responsibility
  on various levels\; political\, economical\, technological. On the techno
 logical level\, there is much discussion on how to organise the nuclear fu
 el cycle in such a way that the interests of non-proliferation are best se
 cured. In my presentation\, I will show how the nuclear fuel cycle\, i.e. 
 the chain from mining uranium\, via generating electricity from nuclear fi
 ssion\, to ultimate waste disposal\, is organised. Further I will illustra
 te some options to mitigate risks of proliferation in the current and in f
 uture\, more sustainable nuclear fuel cycles.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es
