In your referenced article’s own words:
“…the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.”
You talk about “nuance”. The nuance in the above statement is “production capacity”. Capacity does not mean “production”. The company in question is not licensed to export any uranium ore from the US or Canada. The quoted statement from the article is misleading and deceptive, as is the entire article. Did you know about this “nuance”? The issue is moot.
“Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown.”
This quote makes any connection between the so called “uranium deal” and the Clinton foundation moot. The article's own statement is an admission that there is not connection. Note that the term “unknown” is an indistinctive term, implying that the question is still open and could be true. That puts it in the realm of in the context of “If anything’s possible, then it’s possible.”
"Read the whole article from the link above, and tell me there is no cause for concern!"
I'm telling you, there is no cause for concern.
It seems the story is false, in a book by an alt-right partisan (not an investigator or news person). It wasn't even up to HRC to approve or veto the deal, and she may not have even participated in the board's voting on it. See Hillary Clinton Gave 20 Percent of United States' Uranium to Russia in Exchange for Clinton Foundation Donations?.
