This may help lowering the reliance of France on Russia but its energy production will still be reliant on other countries, as 100% of the required fuel (uranium) is imported.

100% of Europe's natural gas comes from Russia.

Uranium producing countries include Australia and Canada, who are a bit less crazy with their international politics and military movements.

No it doesn't. It's about a third.

The total at the end of 2021 was about 8500 million cubic metre, divided as follows: Norway 3000, Russia 2300, LNG 2200, Algeria 640.
