- Making the world safe for nuclear energy Deutch, Kantor, Moniz, Poneman, 2006, Survival 46(4):65-79 DOI:10.1080/00396330412331342466
- proposal for a Nuclear Suppliers Group to support nations that agree to non-proliferation. - Safeguards to prevent nuclear proliferation World Nuclear Association, 2021.
- ThorCon Safeguards and Security Version: 1.31, 2019. Some uranium reactors have a brief period in their fuel cycle where weapons-grade Pu-239 can be extracted from the partially used fuel. ThorCon has a good discussion of these risks and their safeguards to counter that risk.
- Plentiful Energy The Story of the Integral Fast Reactor, Charles Till & Yoon Chang, 2011. Chapter 12: Nonproliferation Aspects of the IFR has a good discussion of how pyroprocessing can make proliferation very difficult.
- Thorium fuel has risks Stephen F. Ashley, et.al. 2012, Nature volume 492, pages 31–33. Some thorium reactors with on-site fuel processing may be vulnerable to skimming of a small fraction of U-233 from the process loop.
- Thorium power has a protactinium problem Eva C. Uribe, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 6 August 2018.
