Actually since Ive worked in nuclear for over 30 years I might know as much or more - and spent 12 years on subs...
Just a small correction - there are currently 99 operating plants
And there are currently 24 new ones either being built or in the planning stages - 4 should come online in the very near future
And the parts come from China, as well as many other countries - and there is nothing secret about their construction - other than the security and cybersecurity details
