➢ Innovation in the areas of
• Reactors
• Nuclear fuel cycles – front end and back end
• Institutional approaches to nuclear power
• National strategic and long-term planning
• Develop and provide tools and services
• Partnerships for Nuclear Futures
➢ Promotes Sustainable Development

Korean, Innovative, Environment-Friendly, and Proliferation-Resistant System for the 21st C (KEP-21)
Benefits• Reduce disposal space 100x• Shortened management of
waste to few 100 years• Improved total uranium
element use by factor 100x• Provides intrinsic
proliferation resistance

INPRO MEMBER STATES
Steering Committee Meeting – Virtual 2021
Our INPRO Member States Drive Where INPRO Project Tasks Go
INPRO Task 1:Global Scenarios➢ Develop global and regional nuclear energy scenarios
➢ Use developed scientific-technical analysis tools
➢ Provide a global vision of sustainable nuclear energy
development in the current century and beyond
➢ Forge innovative new partnerships
➢ Analysis Support for Enhanced Nuclear Energy
Sustainability - ASENES SMR – Key New Task
9
INPRO Task 2: Innovation
10
➢ Innovations in nuclear energy technology and institutions• Case studies for the
Deployment of Factory Fuelled SMRs
• Review of Innovative Reactor Concepts For Prevention of Severe Accidents And Mitigation of Their Consequences (RISC)
• WIRAF – Waste arisings from innovative reactors and fuel cycles
• Back end fuel cycle activities
LMFRs LWRs
INPRO Task 3:
Sustainability Assessments and StrategiesNuclear Energy system Sustainability
Assessments (NESA) and INPRO
Methodology
➢ BN-1200 NESA Report
➢ Draft summaries of NESA
completed by Ukraine
➢ Complete update of INPRO
Methodology
➢ Streamlined and useful revision of
Proliferation Resistance Manual
➢ SMR NESA studies• Argentina – May 2021
• Russia – May 2021
• ROK – July 2021
➢ FRAMES Energy System Modelling

Integrated Energy System Analysis: FRAMES
➢ Growing interest in integrated energy
systems (Member States and IAEA)
with nuclear and renewable power
systems
➢ IAEA developed an in-house capability
(FRAMES)
➢ Can quantify the value that nuclear
brings to low-carbon systems, and
inform policy
➢ FRAMES can highlight the value of
nuclear in decarbonization and
analyze options

FRAMES (FRAmework for Modelling Electricity Systems)Joint Task with INPRO+PESS+NPTDS
FRAMES GOALS
➢ FRAMES calculates the optimal (in economic terms) dispatch
of existing generating units (Unit commitment) subject to all
the relevant constraints
➢ It can also determine the best investments in new generating
technologies for greenfield or brownfield cases (Capacity
expansion)
➢ Provided message for DG Grossi to Deliver at COP26 (Joint
URENCO-IAEA TASK)

➢ Dialogue Forums
• 18th DF - Partnerships for
Nuclear Development and
Deployment – May 2021
• 19th DF – Enhancing Public
Acceptance of Nuclear Energy
through Institutional Innovations–
- 7-10 December 2021
• 20th and 21st DF – Planned 2022
➢ Educational Outreach
• The concept of INPRO Schools
• Higher educational outreach to
include courses in degree
programmes
INPRO Task 4: Educational Outreach
16
➢ Rolling Out the INPRO Schools in 2021• STAR-NET – Train the trainers – university outreach in STAR-NET – Russian
language – Completed APRIL 2021 - Virtual
• USA-CANADA – Regional School to Train the Trainers on Nuclear Energy
System Modelling and Assessment Using the INPRO Methodology (Sept
2021 - Virtual)❑ NEDHO – University outreach to USA university nuclear programmes
❑ UNENE - Canadian University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering
• Russia and Thailand – INPRO Schools – Virtual – Nov 2021
➢ Masters Course in INPRO Methodology• Virtual Event 14-16 Dec 2020 – CM To explore cooperation between
INPRO and higher educational institutions to foster a better understanding
of sustainable NES development and deployment
• Virtual Event 13-16 Dec 2021 – CM to initiate the development of a
master’s course in nuclear energy strategic planning and applying the
INPRO methodology for its sustainability assessment
Conclusion
➢ INPRO is a key forward looking IAEA activity assessing nuclear energy systems integrated with the “One House” of the IAEA
➢ INPRO cooperates with Safeguard Department with INPRO Proliferation Resistance methodology
➢ 2021 - ASENES SMR (Analysis) and SMR NESA(Assessment) projects pivot INPRO to examine SMRs whole nuclear energy system sustainability
➢ INPRO outreach in INPRO Schools and to Higher Education aims to bring INPRO methods to the future of nuclear industry
➢ FRAMES model brings energy modelling into INPRO NES evaluation, analysis, and planning
