Front-end nuclear fuel supply cooperation: Turning allied interdependence into strategic advantage
The global nuclear revival, which is fueled by unprecedented demand for firm, affordable, dispatchable power for artificial intelligence and data center build-out, energy security imperatives, and climate commitments, has exposed a structural reality of the Western fuel cycle: No single allied nation currently possesses the full suite of front-end capabilities. From mining through conversion, enrichment, fabrication, and the emerging deconversion and metallization steps required for reactor fuels, capability is distributed across Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States (collectively, the “Sapporo Five”), as well as a small group of close partners.

A secondary-dose equivalent model for calculating secondary proton and neutron doses in arbitrary geometries is described. The random position of origin of the secondary-nucleon, primary-proton residual kinetic energy and secondary-nucleon kinetic energy, and survival weight at the point of generation of the secondary particles are determined by random sampling techniques. Results from this model are compared with the experiment of Maienschein and Blosser which measured the dose from a 160-MeV proton be am incident on an aluminum slab. The agreement is generally better than the state-of-the-art accuracy for secondary-dose calculations.
