#Russia profiting off #US reliance on #nuclear fuel
Aug 11, 2023
"Russia sold about $1.7 billion in nuclear products to firms in the U.S. and #Europe, according to trade data and experts. The purchases occurred as the West has leveled stiff sanctions on Moscow over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, blocking imports of such Russian staples as oil, gas, vodka and caviar.
"The West has been reluctant to target Russia’s nuclear exports, however, because they play key roles in keeping reactors humming. Russia supplied the U.S. nuclear industry with about 12% of its #uranium last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Europe reported getting about 17% of its uranium in 2022 from Russia.
"Reliance on nuclear power is expected to grow as nations embrace alternatives to fossil fuels. Nuclear power plants produce no emissions, though experts warn that nuclear energy comes with the risk of reactor meltdowns and the challenge of how to safely store #radioactive #waste. There are about 60 reactors under construction around the world — 300 more are in the planning stages."

Republicans tell American workers what they value: More workplace injury, illness & death, more child labor, & fewer unions.
Republicans released the draft fiscal year 2024 Labor, Health & Human Services, Education, & Related Agencies funding bill. The bill cuts OSHA funding by $95M, a 15% cut that would bring the agency’s funding level down to $537 million. OSHA’s budget hasn’t been at that low level since 2009
