Just like other sources of energy for electricity, nuclear power stations need fuel. The supply chain for uranium fuel assemblies is long and complex. There are not a lot of companies/countries that can supply nuclear fuel.
I have made it clear in many posts that I do not think that nuclear power is appropriate for massive generation of commercial electricity. There are many reasons for my opinion that I have detailed over the past two years. That is not to say that there are not appropriate uses for nuclear materials. A large number of medical diagnostic and therapy procedures depend on radioactive isotopes. There are many industrial applications as well.
