But, the US needs to develop a package solution to compete with Russia and China if they want to control the future of nuclear.
From the article:"One of the reasons many countries want to cooperate with Russia (even defying US sanctions) is that it offers a ‘package solution’.
“Russia will not only build a nuclear plant and supply fuel, but it also trains local specialists, helps with safety questions, runs scholarship programmes and disposes of radioactive waste,” Foltynova points out. Sri Lanka has been offered such assistance according to SLAEB Chairman Prof. Rosa.
Russia also offers attractive loans, which are backed by government subsidies and cover at least 80 per cent of construction costs. “Russia has already lent USD 10 billion to Hungary, USD 11 billion to Bangladesh and USD 25 billion to Egypt to build nuclear power plants,” Foltynova says.
Russia has also signed MOUs with at least 30 countries, mostly in Africa."
Come on sleepy Joe. We've gifted you the mother of all technological advantages. Wake up and get on with it.
