I am not a Nuclear Scientist or Chemist so I need to ask why... Why were the Russian’s so hell bent on our Uranium ( other than politics, market advantage etc ) ? Is their a technical reason? We have what 1% of the worlds Uranium. why not go after the larger suppliers if you want to corner the market. What am I missing here....
It wasn’t the US uranium the Russians wanted, although it was a nice bonus. Uranium One, a Canadian company, had, with the help of Bill Clinton, secured large uranium mines in Kazakhstan, and that’s what the Russians really wanted.
