According to a report by London-based Think Tank Royal United Services Institute or RUSI, it says that despite measures to cut economic ties with Russia, several Western Nations still rely on the country's nuclear fuel to power their reactors.
总部位于伦敦的智库英国皇家联合军种国防研究所（RUSI）的一份报告称，尽管采取了切断与俄罗斯经济联系的措施，一些西方国家仍依赖俄罗斯核燃料为其反应堆提供动力。
Imports into France from Russia of enriched uranium have increased significantly since the start of 2022, so there was an increase of about 184% in volume.

Global enthusiasm for nuclear power fell after the 2011 Fukushima reactor meltdown in Japan, but as countries try to slash carbon emissions, many are thinking again.

To adapt supply chains as fast as possible and also there to disconnect from Russian supply, but we need to balance things, in a sense, if you want to decarbonize, if you want to reduce CO2 production, we need to make sure that our nuclear power plants can continue.
尽快调整供应链，切断与俄罗斯的联系，但我们需要保持平衡，从某种意义上说，如果想脱碳，想减少二氧化碳的排放，我们需要确保核电站能够继续运行。

Sanctions need to be or any kind of restrictions need to be multilateral. Otherwise, because of the complexity of enriched uranium supply chains and fuel supply chains, Russia will find the weakest link in that, I guess, wall of restrictions, to try to continue accessing Western markets.
任何形式的限制都必须是多边的。否则，由于浓缩铀供应链和燃料供应链很复杂，俄罗斯将会找到供应链中最薄弱的环节，试图继续进入西方市场。
