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.

Turbulence intensities in a closed rectangular channel were measured under the influence of a transverse magnetic field in the range of Reynolds numbers between 5.3 × 104 and 2.8 × 105 and Hartmann numbers between 0 and 1500. The intensities were found to be suppressed exponentially by the field in the range M2/Re <0.12. Skin-friction measurements were also obtained during the experiment. The measurements were found to be lower than the theoretical magneto-fluid-mechanic laminar predictions for values of M/Re > 25 × 104. This phenomenon was attributed to magnetic entrance effects.
