Can't Uranium be easily sourced from somewhere else or is Russia the only viable supplier?


Probably Australia or some African country from the middle of nowhere, they’re the only ones left where you can now still open a new uranium project. Most probably the US and Canada still have the stuff in their soil but I don’t see them doing it, what with Idaho and parts of Colorado becoming more like California.


All you need to do is Google for "wiki uranium deposits". It takes less time than your reply.

Hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining


Uranium mining is not your weak link here -- enrichment and fuel assembly production is. As far as I'm aware, Russia has over 40% of global capacity for this.
