    Germany, UK and the Netherlands also produce nuclear fuel. There are also South Korean designs around, which might be an option.

    But seriously it would probably be a lot cheaper to go to solar and wind combined with storage.

      I suspect so; China has better conditions and need for nuclear than any other country, and so far its not even 5%, and they’re only planning to triple it by 2035.

      France got lucky they didn’t stop building reactors when everyone else did and benefitted for the last 40 years, but wind and solar have just gotten so cheap.
