Yes sure, I can also buy Russian uranium by middlemen located in other countries. There’s a lot of investigative pieces out there that dig deeper than your “basic facts”. The origin of most of the uranium is Russia. It’s a trap. And the US is currently planning ~200 new reactors. No country will be able to supply the amounts of fuel required except Russia. It’s no wonder that the Trump administration is desperately searching for normalization in the relationship with Russia to strike deals. And I’m not even starting to talk about the downsides of nuclear reactors (inflexibility) in a modern power system that needs to incorporate renewables.
