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.

Differential cross sections for neutrons scattered elastically from 6Li and 7Li have been measured at 14 incident neutron energies between 4 and 7.5 MeV. For 7Li, neutrons inelastically scattered from the 0.478 MeV-level were not resolved from the elastic group and have been included with the elastic group in calculating the cross sections. The present 6Li data are in good agreement with the ENDF/B-IV evaluation, while the present 7Li(n,n0 + n1) data are generally larger than the corresponding ENDF/B-IV evaluation particularly at forward angles.
