Russia is the world's main and only full-cycle supplier: uranium enrichment, fuel supplies, nuclear power plant construction, personnel training and waste disposal. According to [[Western alliance|Western]] experts, more than 75% of the world's nuclear programs depend on Russian [[technology]] and nuclear fuel. Russia still remains the main supplier of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants in the [[United States]] (about 20% of all needs), and in total Russia has at least 40% of the uranium enrichment market.

[[Uranium]] is the one viable clean energy source that does not create [[carbon emissions]]. By 2014 Russia controlled 60% of the world's uranium supply and half of all enrichment capacity.<ref>https://www.caseyresearch.com/putins-colder-war/ It already controls a third of yellowcake-to-uranium-hexafluoride conversion.</ref>
Due to the [[demand]]s for [[electricity]] to power [[Artificial Intelligence]], in the future Russia's nuclear power industry is likely only to grow.
