Are you saying the country that created the first ever nuclear bomb does not have uranium deposits?

No.

Let me rephrase: if you want Uranium ore for civil purposes you may be forced to financially support the biggest assholes in some shithole country. The US may have rich Uranium mines in Indian reservations, but to supply large commercial undertakings, such as the current buildout of reactors, there has to be a much more massive supply chain.

See here: "Imports accounted for 99% of the U3O8 they used in 2023 to make nuclear fuel. "
