The more uranium is used, the more it will increase in price, allocating more resources to exploring for new sources. Increased uranium prices will not significantly affect energy cost, as fuel price is very small fraction of nuclear plant operation. These days there are ways of getting uranium from sea water [1], basically making the supply practically limitless. This way is currently un-economical, but as current reserves are depleting, it will become viable option as well. (Along with researching for more reserves) So yes, it was totally possible to decarbonise electricity production long ago.
