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.

The effects of bubble interaction and boundary surfaces on the radial oscillation dynamics of multiple air bubbles in a liquid pool are analyzed. Quantitative predictions are obtained for the coupling between bubble phasing and the distribution of power over a range of frequencies, the crowding effect on bubble frequency when multiple bubbles are formed in a single pool, the effect on frequency of a bubble's rise from a point near the floor of a pool toward the free surface, and the frequency correction for test tank data when the design condition of interest is a discharge in a larger pool.
