And as you may know, Westinghouse and Toshiba lost their shirts as a result of nuclear power projects in the US:

The US stopped backing the sale of nuclear power plants for two main reasons - we have no working plan for what to do with the waste they produce, and we don't want nuclear proliferation to unfriendly regimes. Neither factor seems to bother Russia or India, so there goes another market we used to dominate.
