I believe the answer is: uranium could be used in research on atomic weapons

When a country restrict the sales for a certain resource, the most likely reason is that the country itself want to use that resource for internal reason.

German scientist aware that uranium is only useful to either create energy source, or mass destruction weapon.

Since they would most likely be notified if there is a new energy source is created, they are worried that it might be used for weapons.
