Russia, the world's largest supplier of enriched uranium, said on Friday that it had imposed temporary restrictions on the export of enriched uranium to the United States, a symbolic tit-for-tat move after the U.S. banned Russian uranium imports.

There are some allied countries that can supply, just not with the same demand. Some countries that dominate the technology: France, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Japan, Argentina, (India and Brazil)*

**This one will hurt! **We gave up reprocessing in the past and do not really have the capacity to do it any more. Where are we going to get our fuel for these new-fangled, SNR that are modular? It looks like we will have to start reprocessing again!
BTW, one day we will learn about sanctions! They are a double-edged blade that cuts both ways!
