Do we even have the ability to build a nuclear power plant? I think we have to depend on foreign expertise anyway.
This is merely an assumption but a reasonable one in that they will have senior technical resources involved at the design, build and transition into support of operational procedures. The systems required to support the operation of the plant will be part of the project delivery so it's a pretty sensitive surface to expose to parties that wouldn't normally have visibility thereof.
