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.

All cross sections of neutron-induced reactions, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections for n + 113,115,nat.In reactions are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident neutron energies below 200 MeV by using nuclear theoretical models. The isomeric cross section is especially calculated. The theoretical results are further compared with the available experimental data and the evaluated results in ENDF/B-VII, JENDL-4, and TENDL-2012.
