"And if that wasn't enough, one of the largest exporters of uranium to the EU is... Russia."
To be more precise: 5 countries represent 96% of EU uranium imports: Niger (24,26%), Kazakhstan (22,99%), Russia, Australia and Canada.
A country like France has 1-2 years of uranium stock for its electricity production.
Dependence on Russia is way less critical for uranium than gas.
- turbinerneiter 4y agoThat's why France got an exception from sanctions made for a uranium delivery from Russia.
- felixlechat 4y agoDo you have any source to support this claim ? AFAIK, France does not rely on Russia for uranium import. France imports uranium mainly (>90%) from Australia, Niger and Kazakhstan [1].
