Russia Is Exporting Nuclear Everywhere

Russia has seized the opportunity left by America’s shying away from nuclear energy and is exporting its technology across the globe. At present the Russians claim $300 billion in exports building 30 plants in 12 counties. The map shows the extent of Russia’s salesmanship. Russia has reactors under construction in Belarus, India and China. It has also contracted for construction of reactors in Finland, Turkey, Armenia, Iran and Vietnam. It has broad agreements or memorandums of understanding all over Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia. The Chinese are hoping to export their technology – derived from Westinghouse, now a Japanese company. However by the time they begin their outreach they may discover that Russia has cornered the market.
