FUEL CYCLE SERVICE MARKETS Sample Clauses

FUEL CYCLE SERVICE MARKETS. Demand for services mostly follows demand for reactors, but there are some differences. First, as programs evolve, they tend to develop more domestic capabilities. Second, some countries are changing fuel fabrication suppliers or trying to develop multiple suppliers. Third, countries that have changed their nuclear strategies may need to adjust their services to match. For example, a country that is stalled or in closeout will need fewer reactor construction and support services but will likely need more decontamination and decommissioning workers. Fuel cycle services are primarily driven by the installed base of reactors. Historically, PHWRs required no uranium enrichment, though Canada has been developing reactors that run on very low enrichment uranium (less than 2% 235U). PHWRs can also use uranium recovered during reprocessing of LWR fuels without re-enrichment. Due to the low burnup of unenriched fuels, PHWRs require a frequent supply of fuel and produce a high volume of spent fuel. GCRs and RBMKs use some enrichment (up to 3.5%), but are also refueled frequently. LWRs currently use enriched uranium in the 4-5% range and have batch refueling of typically 1/3rd of the core every 12 to 18 months. Enrichment significantly impacts the dynamics of the fuel cycle front end because, due to a combination of proliferation concernsz and economies of scaleaa, it is only performed at a limited number of facilities worldwide. Enrichment also requires conversion of natural uranium oxide (U3O8) into uranium hexafluoride (UF6). Conversion is a chemical process that efficiently operates at scales that are large relative to demand and therefore few facilities are needed to support demand. This results in the uranium flow from a large number of mines being focused to the few conversion and enrichment facilities before moving on to the fuel fabrication facilities. Fuel fabrication capacities for both natural uranium oxide fuels for PHWRs and enrichment uranium oxide fuels for LWRs are well above needs globally. However, unlike the fungible products of the earlier stages in the fuel cycle, fuel fabrication is highly specialized for specific fuel designs. The trend in the PHWR fuels area is toward each user developing some domestic capacity to meet needs, with the balance made up primarily by Canada. For the LWR fuels, demand in Europe is stagnant and will be dropping due to phase-out in some countries, while demand in Asia is shifting due to reactors shut down in Japan a...
