Abstract: Using the methods of Kang et al. and recent results on the characters of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules by Nakajima and Hernandez, the existence of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals $B^{r,s}$ is established for all nonexceptional affine types. We also prove that the crystals $B^{r,s}$ of type $B_n^{(1)}$ , $D_n^{(1)}$ , and $A_{2n-1}^{(2)}$ are isomorphic to recently constructed combinatorial crystals for not a spin node.
