@Walter Hinteler,
Again, I'm out of context because CJ bored the **** of me forever ago and I ignored him - but here's some data that may help your argument:
Russia
The World Nuclear Association[16][17][unreliable source?] states that Russia has known uranium deposits of 500,000 tonnes and planned to mine 11,000 to 12,000 tonnes per year from deposits in the South Urals, Western Siberia, and Siberia east of Lake Baikal, by 2010.
The Russian nuclear industry underwent an overall restructuring process during 2007. The production was high as almost 4,000 tons of tU3O8 (8.8 million pounds) from three operating mines in 2007. Atomredmetzoloto reported that the Priargunsky mine yielded 3,538 tonnes (7.8 million pounds) in 2007, a slight decline from the 3,719 tonnes (8.2 million pounds) reported by TVEL in 2006. At the Dalur (Dolmatovskoye) and Khiagda ISR mines, production of 412 tonnes (910,000 pounds) and 30 tonnes (68,000 pounds), respectively, was reached in 2007. Both ISR projects are expected to increase production steadily through 2015.[10]

And as I remember it the US was shitting itself that enriched uranium from the USSR's decommissioned warheads would find it's way into terrorist hands for use in dirty bombs since the 1990s. So yeah, they really need US uranium.
