Hope it helps them to cut down on the fossil fuel energy generation! Nuclear doesn't make sense in my country but I'd definitely prefer to see big countries using it over coal and diesel and the like.

If nothing else, several large American defense contracts will make a tidy profit on this. Even though I think that Nuclear will be required in the mix for the foreseeable future, I still hope for some advancements in energy storage that allow us to go full renewable (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geo).
