I have no idea, but I would assume most parts are custom machined to spec. If that's true, you'd just need to find machine shops capable of making the parts.

You call up your local nuclear reactor spare parts vendor and place an order. Then they figure out how to either source the part or manufacture it or substitute it.

No, really. Most places that sell nuclear fuel have a spare parts business too.
