Interesting. The third world seem to have no problems around nuclear reactors, only the woke West.
Since the woke West is transforming itself into the third world at a fast rate if knots, Australia for one, should be ready for nuclear very soon.

Hi DD,

"Australia for one, should be ready for nuclear very soon." WHAT! Falling from the sky? In that case I have three easy instructions for you.

1. Bend over!
2. Stick your head between your legs!
3. Kiss your arse goodbye!

Problem solved.

Not sure if the Holtec U.S. SMR deal will go through.
Financing remains one of the largest hurdles for the project, and public records indicate the Rwandan government is actively figuring out how to fund it. To offset costs and mitigate risks, Rwanda is executing a "strategic multi-alignment" approach. Alongside its U.S. and Holtec agreements, Rwanda signed an SMR cooperation roadmap with Russia's state-owned Rosatom in July 2026 to keep its options open for alternative state-backed financing, engineering support, and technology.
