In fact this means that all those countries will not be building own reactors by themselves but ordering them from major players like Atomtechexport (Russia), Areva group (France) or any other of the world nuclear giants. I don't think those companies are ready for such flow of orders at once. At the same time it means that there will be demand for specialists in nuclear power - and that takes at least a generation to educate them in quantity enough to run own independent nuclear profram. So far this nuclear rise will happen in best case within the coming 20 years. But who knows if we need it in 20 years.
Then there will be priority waiting line, and again someone might find themselves in an unfavourable situation. Thats west-dominated world economy :(
