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.

An approximation scheme for calculating the detailed kinetic response of a reactor during a transient in which the time and space behaviors of the neutron flux are not separable has been applied to two reactor models more realistic than the one used previously to test the validity of the method. Results of applying the approximation method to a one-dimensional two-group reactor model and a two-dimensional two-group model are presented.
