The International Atomic Energy Agency requires nuclear facilities around the world to abide by heavily enforced safeguards to prevent proliferation. Nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities are designed to be proliferation-resistant and to use surveillance systems. While experience with small-scale reprocessing facilities has allowed for well understood safeguards, large-scale reprocessing facilities pose a new difficulty because of the larger error margins involved with the large volumes of spent fuel that is being processed. First, a hypothetical spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facility is described along with proliferation resistance methods typically used in actual facilities. This model establishes a foundation for studying diversion scenarios using a success tree method.
