Oops, for some reason I thought Hungary had their own design and supply chains...
That leaves China and South Korea as the only groups left with know how. And China is probably out for similar reasons. South Korea has had a few corruption issues but maybe they have fixed those.
I still have questions about whether advanced economies should be generating power from giant, complex construction projects when their manufacturing productivity is so massively dominant over construction prductivity. But I would love to be proven wrong about advanced economies' ability to build nuclear economically.

Ironically, Russian reactors would reduce dependence on Russian gas. That kindof hurts my brain.
