9-19-2024.  A report on the dissident Russian news site Novaya Gazeta Europe

Here are 3 quotes from the above article:

"The revenue from sales of Russian nuclear fuel to the EU and US almost tripled between 2021 and 2023 despite sanctions and the war in Ukraine, a Novaya Europe investigation has revealed."

"Another reason for the increase, according to the investigation, was concern that any attempts to sideline Russian atomic energy corporation Rosatom’s trade in nuclear fuels would send shockwaves through the global uranium market."

"In May, the US became the first country to impose any form of ban on Russian nuclear fuels, but even then, it made room for workarounds, allowing companies to flout the ban if they could prove that no alternative source of enriched uranium was available. As a result, Russia still supplied a quarter of the enriched uranium imported by the US annually, the data showed."

[So, the US government and corporate community are so weak that they can’t live without atomic power and Russia imports.  Pathetic.  It’s vital to weaken Putin AND to get away from dangerous nuclear power.  This year dangers went up as Ukraine invaded the Kursk region of Russia that includes a nuclear power plant.
