> Germany would need to import nuclear fuel, e.G. from Russia (as the US does [1]). I don't think depending on Russia for energy security is a good idea.

U.S. nuclear power plants imported about 12% of their uranium from Russia in 2022, compared to 27% from Canada and 25% from Kazakhstan, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

And a bill was passed in 2023 to ban imports from Russia - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-passes-bill-bannin...

Not sure what your comment wants to say, that yes, the US is importing uranium from Russia, or yes, it is importing uranium from Russia, but more from other countries?

The relatively smaller share plus the ban means the US isn't dependent on Russia for Uranium, which is what was implied.

Has the ban been signed by Biden yet?
