More evidence of that the US is becoming irrelevant in heavy industry. Not a single US bidder mentioned. GE once the largest builder of nuclear power plants merged their nuclear subsidiary with Hitachi a few years ago. Westinghouse once the second largest builder of nukes earlier sold out to Toshiba.
The US was the pioneer of nuclear power and is now merely a bit player. Politics and fear have weakened the US to the point of irrelevance.
You are so very right. One thing that bothered me was this:
.....build and run the Arab world's first nuclear-power plants.
I know that UAE is not a threatening power currently, but give them nucular power and they may "assist" their Muslim brothers who would love to have nukes.
