Rusia ar putea controla 36% din producția mondială de uraniu până în 2040. Occidentul riscă o nouă criză de dependență energetică

Russia is projected to control 36% of global uranium production by 2040, raising concerns about Western dependence on Moscow for nuclear fuel. The country is expanding its influence in uranium mining, particularly in Kazakhstan and Africa, while the West seeks to reduce reliance on Russian energy. However, developing alternative sources may take years, and the uranium supply is struggling to keep pace with rising demand. Analysts warn that the West risks repeating past mistakes with energy dependence, as Russia maintains a significant role in uranium processing. The situation is complicated by ongoing projects in Africa and the slow development of new mines, leading to potential supply deficits.
