No, you don’t understand. Uran and the tech to enrich and process it is widely available and they all are totally not dependent on Russia. Why so many still import from Russia then and fight sanctions year after year, you ask? Well… it’s because… Look! There! A squirrel!
Isn’t that US related trade restrictions? Also Kazakhstan supplies some 43% of the world supply of Uranium, followed by Canada at 14%.
the tech to enrich and process it
If you watch some of the early American nuclear projects it seems like its about as hard to work with as coal, and enrichment means spinning it. Its all known quantities.
Also while I’m here, the quanties of nuclear waste are so small compared to the literal mountains of flyash power plants make. And the french are really good at reprocessing it. I think we can do better than what the Americans did with their miniature nuclear reactor on Greenland (just flushed the toxic waste into a cavern drilled into the ice, along with all the poops).
Also, nobody ever seems to want to talk about the radioactive output of coal stations just burning coal with trace radioactive elements in it. Just straight up the stack and over the neighbourhood.
And don’t forget the simple matter of sourcing, enriching, using, possibly reprocessing, storing, and then disposing. Simples!

A squirrel!!? Where???!
Just dig a big hole. Problem solved.
