Russian invasion of Ukraine

I'd be interested in how greenpeace know for sure it's russian, as most exports of uranium comes from Kazakstan, and as they are effectively a land locked country, there are few ways to get it out of there, other than by road/rail from Black Sea ports, and Kazakstan exports 10x times the amount that russia does, who I would think uses most of it's own itself.

Could just be a greenpeace agenda story, not saying it's not correct, but I'm not sure I'd trust greenpeace about nuclear stuff either.

BTW it is legal as the EU has not imposed sanctions on Uranium sales...
I wonder why that is?...

Slightly off topic.

Something more for Putin and his beleaguered generals to think about in the future.

The new B-21 Raider bomber.

This changes everything.

B-21 Raider, the future of long-range strike, will be capable of penetrating the toughest defenses to deliver precision strikes anywhere in the world.

The first new bomber in 30 years could cost nearly $700m (£569m) each and can carry nuclear and conventional weapons. The US Air Force is planning to acquire at least 100 of the aircraft.

This plane looks like something you could cross the galaxy in, never mind dropping bombs on earth. The responsibility of flying one of those would make you nervous amazing plane

Yeah I know it's "legal", as for why, nuclear power stations need uranium, and you can't just turn nuclear power plants off.

I've no idea how much they need to import in a year to maintain them, but a good proportion of French power comes from nuclear, but like I said I'd be interested to actually know where the uranium originated, I'm sure the French government know, but I doubt they would be informing greenpeace.

The French thing is an obsession. Dumped by an exchange student for his best mate bitd I reckon.
