Russia dominates nuclear power supply chains — and the West needs to prepare now to be independent

Russia's war in Ukraine has pushed countries around the globe to wean themselves from Russian oil and natural gas.

That's an amount that can be replaced if other countries that mine uranium increase their uranium mining.
