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.

An iterative method has been developed for the solution of neutron-transport problems. The method is formulated within the framework of a spherical-harmonics method. The method is developed first for one-group problems, then for more general velocity-dependent problems. The method is illustrated by application to the Milne problem for the one-group case and also to a velocity-dependent variation of the Milne problem. Good accuracy is obtained for both cases.
