  • 1 National Military University „Vasil Levski“, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria,

Abstract

The Russian Federation average about 3000 tons of uranium per year from its own mines. Russian uranium mining companies work in Kazakhstan, Canada and other countries either directly or through companies they purchase. Its businesses export fuel in all parts of the world and are getting more stable on the world market despite the sanctions imposed.
