The US government. They have a vested interest in maintaining a nuclear supply chain and skills base to share with the military.
It's the reason why there has been such a huge pro nuclear PR offensive in the last 10 years. Consent needs to be manufactured for lavishing nuclear power with subsidies. E.g. in order to justify giving Bill Gates's startup a dumptruck full of taxpayer money people have to be positively predisposed to nuclear power.
The most ironic and fucked up part of the nuclear-military industrial complex's PR offensive was when they tried to shame environmentalists for being anti nuclear power and tried to shame Germany for trailblazing a highly effective green energy policy. The environment is of no concern to them.
