This was something i read recently in the history of Belgium. Since the World War II, Belgian shared their Uranium supply with the US and the UK ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Congo_in_World_War_II#Uranium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Congo_in_World_War_II#... ), done as part of repayment for allied support in the war. So this little country was actually the main / sole supplier through Congo for the atom bomb / nuclear energy in the US. Congo gained independence in 1960.
