I’d always thought that the Russians had 51% of U1. But reading further, the 2d to last line says they have 100%.

A few names that look important and I’ve never heard before.

Who is Moukhtar Ablyazov?

Who is Moukhtar Dzhakishev?

And what kind of parent would name a kid “Moukhtar”?

I dunno. It has a kinda nice ring to it.

Say it out loud. Mook-tar.

Mooktar of the burning sands.

Maybe I'll be called Mooktar in my next life if I'm so unlucky to be a raggedy man.

That might make it bearable.

IIRC, they now own 100% of that company. However that company did NOT supply 100% of our uranium. So Russians do NOT have 100% of our supply - that we know of anyway.
