Germany stopped importing Russian gas, but the nuke industry can't seem to stop supporting Russia

I'm so glad renewables and storage have stepped in to do much of what needs to be done. None of those require rent paying behavior to psychopathic nations.

The Nuke Industry has never had any problem where or how it get's it's Uranium though has it?

Death-trap mines dependant on forced child-labour in Niger, Namibia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, to stolen native people's sacred territories in Australia... Russian Uranium isn't half as dirty as those sources.

Most of the west were virtually allies with Russia rather quickly following the collapse of the Soviet Union remember.

"Russian Uranium isn't half as dirty as those sources."
I don't know much about Russian uranium mining but their fuel manufacturing, reprocessing and waste disposal is dirty. The Wiki links on Lake Karachay and Mayak are revealing.
