NEUP CINR-23-29656: Illuminating Emerging Supply Chain and Waste Management Challenges

Regional constraints on domestic fuel supply and greater variation in demand from advanced reactors has led to a shift in the US fuel cycle, and our modeling tools must reflect them. In this work we propose to update Cyclus to better reflect new and emergent regional supply constraints, spatial and temporal fluctuations in material needs, and quantify those impacts on the back-end of the fuel cycle. This work will allow for flexible, reproducible analysis to inform stakeholder decision-making.
