China happens to be very advanced in nuclear tech. If they would buy some of our power plant product it is only because it would be better somehow, perhaps cheaper, believe it or not, not because they couldn't do it themselves.

Right whale, from what I've read about China's reputation for protecting intellectual property and its propensity for reverse engineering (ask GM about this, in particular), I believe that at least one of these plants will not see much actual operation, but instead will be ripped apart and copied. I don't think that we can count on selling more than a handful of them, and if their copies are good and cheap, we won't be selling as many of the original Westinghouses to any country that is not willing to enforce U.S. patents, copyrights, etc.
