China does. They will be completing 60-70 GW worth of reactors in the next decade, planning to take nuclear power from 2% of their electricity production to over 10% eventually. (While also building crazy amounts of solar, wind etc.)

You do know that 6-7 GW per year are close to nothing compared to new wind and solar, not to mention other plants, China is installing? Nor is it in the general picture.
