Better than being dependent on oil and gas, especially if your current supplier is Russia.

uranium doesn't matter, its fairly common. It's enriching that uranium that is held closley and is considered the 'Hard' part.

Fun fact; This was the key measure in obamas iran deal. The US would give them the enriched uranium if they shut down their nuclear research.
