@MyLittleMetroid@sfba.social @futuresprog@mastodon.nzoss.nz Well, I did! And it looks much better. https://www.iea.org/reports/securing-clean-energy-technology-supply-chainshttps://www.nuclearscaling.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-Landscape-of-U.S.-Domestic-Advanced-Nuclear-Energy-Supply-Chain.pdf One reason is that typical volume of nuclear fuel is counted in tens of tons, while typical volume of resources for PV industry is counted in millions of tons due to its significantly lower energy density. It’s therefore easy to secure fuel for a nuclear power plan - you just send one cargo aircraft or ship. For the other you need to secure the whole logistics for continuous delivery of millions of tons of the resource.
