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 complete sets of nuclear data for n + 92,94,96Mo below 20 MeV are calculated. These sets include all kinds of cross sections, especially for some reactions from the residual nuclei in metastable/isomeric states, angular distributions of elastic scattering, energy spectra and/or double-differential cross sections of all emitted particles, and gamma production data (production cross sections and multiplicity, energy spectra) in all kinds of reactions. The calculated results are generally in good accordance with the experimental values for those reactions with the experimental data. In the final evaluation files, most data are directly taken from the calculated values; only a few of them are changed based on the experimental data and are referred to JENDL3.2.
