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 total neutron cross section of 113Cd has been measured in the energy range from 0.025 to 1 eV with a crystal spectrometer using the Be(101) and NaCl(200) crystal planes as monochromators. A new method for second-order correction was applied, and the resonance at 0.181 eV was fitted to a Breit-Wigner single-level formula by the method of least squares. The resonance parameters obtained from the analysis are E0 = 0.181 ± 0.003 eV, σ0 = 7847 ± 187 b, Γ = 0.1087 ± 0.0033 eV, and Γn = (0.0791 ± 0.0032) × 10-3 eV assuming that the statistical weighing factor is g = 3/4.
