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.

This paper describes a method for predicting the deposition of particles entrained in turbulent flow. The method predicts the deposition of particles ranging from molecular size to ∼100µ in diameter. Brownian diffusion, turbulent diffusion, and inertial effects are accounted for, and the existence of an equilibrium concentration of particles close to the wall is postulated. The method shows reasonable agreement with published data.
