Nuclear Energy Supply Chain
The nuclear energy supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that most industries never encounter: regulatory and licensing timelines that stretch beyond a decade before a reactor generates a single watt, a fuel cycle where each step — mining, conversion, enrichment, fabrication — is restricted by both physics and international treaty, and a decommissioning obligation embedded from the moment a plant is approved, binding operators to costs that extend decades beyond the last kilowatt-hour sold.
Uranium Supply Chain
The uranium supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that interact to create one of the most politically and technically constricted commodity systems on earth: enrichment capacity is concentrated in a handful of state-affiliated facilities worldwide, and the centrifuge technology is dual-use with weapons, making it the most geopolitically constrained chokepoint in any commodity chain; the mine-to-reactor pathway requires uranium to pass through five discrete transformation stages — mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication — each with qualification barriers and few participants; and for decades, secondary supply from dismantled nuclear warheads masked chronic underinvestment in primary mining, creating a structural illusion of adequacy that began to unravel when the Megatons to Megawatts program ended in 2013.
