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.

Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
A domain decomposition method for steady-state, subsonic fluid dynamics calculations is presented. An implicit solver is used in each subdomain, with boundary data from previous iterations. A nonlinear numerical boundary condition is used to enhance convergence. Numerical examples are presented for the Euler equations of gas dynamics and a two-phase flow model.
