also theyre looking to get 2-3x the number of reactors, theyre gonna dwarf the rest of the world in reactor output, and the new nuclear sites are gonna be shiny latest gen shit with all the safety bells and whistles :posadist-nuke:

china has enough clean energy to power the US for half the year. but it needs to get higher, obviously.
