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 temperature coefficient of the resonance integral for uranium metal and oxide has been measured over a wide temperature range for rods with different diameters. The activation method was used and the 106 kev γ ray following the N239 decay was measured with a pulse-height analyzer. The resonance integral has been expressed as a linear function of The following approximate relations have been found. , The results have been compared with calculated values published elsewhere. The experimental values lie lower than most theoretical ones, but in several cases there is agreement within the common limits of error.
