The Proliferation Resistance and Physical Protection Working Group (PRPPWG) was established to develop, implement, and foster the use of an evaluation methodology to assess Generation IV (Gen-IV) nuclear energy systems with respect to the GIF proliferation resistance (PR) and physical protection (PP) goal:

“Generation IV nuclear energy systems will increase the assurance that they are very unattractive and the least desirable route for diversion or theft of weapons-usable materials and provide increased physical protection against acts of terrorism.”

The “Non-Electric and Cogeneration Applications of Nuclear Energy” Working Group (NECA WG) was formed in 2024 to advance knowledge and access to energy system design, analysis, and optimisation tools that may allow decision makers to find optimal energy system solutions for different socio-economic and geographical contexts. This working group builds upon the work carried by the concluded GIF Non-Electric Applications of Nuclear Heat (NEANH TF, 2021-2024).
