Rosatom is exporting nuclear power plants within budget and (mostly) on time.

It's simply a question of expertise and experience. The US and Europe have ignored nuclear power for so long, that most expertise was lost long ago. And each new nuclear power plant becomes a unique snowflake.

Nobody in the western world is going to buy Russian power plants any time soon.
Of course. Russia needs to be isolated.

I'm just saying that it's _possible_ to construct reactors within reasonable timeframes. Russia and China can do that, so can other countries.
