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.

Nitrosylruthenium-dibutylphosphate complexes were prepared by the reaction of trinitrate-nitrosylruthenium with dibutylphosphoric acid and by the reaction of nitrosylruthenium hydroxide with dibutylphosphate in alkaline solutions. The products are mixtures of compounds of indefinite composition, some of which are monomeric and others polymeric. Complexes were also prepared by the reaction of trinitrato-nitrosylruthenium with monobutylphosphoric acid and dinitro-nitrosylruthenium with dibutylphosphoric acid.
