Russia and Kazakhstan control almost 50% of global production and enrichment of uranium. Even today 17% EU supply come from Russia. Uranium mining is not pretty, read about "in situ leaching" mining. | ||

Kazakhstan does uranium mining but doesn't do uranium enrichment. Other big uranium mining countries, which don't do uranium enrichment, are: Namibia, Canada, Australia, Uzbekistan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_Uranium_Mining_Prod... "The following countries are known to operate enrichment facilities: Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, the Netherlands, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium#Global_enrich... Uranium enrichment is military and therefor politically very sensitive process. | ||
