Description
The IAEA has rightly been vocal about the need to develop alternative fuel supply chains for next generation SMR and advanced reactors. This paper will discuss the potential - and the barriers - to developing a strategic and coordinated Canada-USA HALEU supply chain by drawing on the key advantages of the respective Canadian and US nuclear sectors to secure alternative access to low enriched uranium, including HALEU supplies for the global nuclear economy. What role will regulatory coordination and harmonization play in fostering a scale-up of the cross-border HALEU supply chain? Is there potential for FIRST Program partners to secure preferred fuel access from North America and how can other new-nuclear countries secure their HALEU supplies from the USA and Canada?
