And it is decades away from its competitors like China or (especially) Russia. The problem with nuclear industry is that there isn't some single key piece of tech - you need shit load of expensive nuclear infrastructure, different recycling plants and different types of reactors running various nuclear materials at different stages of their lifecycles for years - if you want to have anything resembling a closed loop, without dumping tons radioactive materials you have no idea how to deal with. I wonder how the US is going to fast-track this kind of work involving extremely hazardous materials. I see that the topic of "spent fuel" is still a distant mysterious benchmark, since the US can't even supply itself with nuclear fuel without buying from evil incompetent Russia.
