Nuclear supply chain innovation and collaboration: Keeping the nuclear supply chain viable through change
The next nuclear renaissance may be upon us, but with it comes a perfect storm. The industry is unprepared for a surge in demand for goods and services from both the existing light water fleet and the next generation of reactors. We are currently teetering on the edge of severe supply chain issues, but if the nuclear industry can understand the sources of our challenges, we can mitigate them.

A refinement is proposed to the current method of evaluating lattice properties for use in calculations of Canada deuterium uranium flux distributions. This refinement, labeled the local-parameter calculation, takes into account locally appropriate values of coolant density, fuel temperature, and flux/power level where core average values were previously used. The local-parameter calculation has been implemented and tested. Results are compared to those of previous calculations and of independent methods based on in-core measurements.
