As I point out in the forthcoming third-quarter issue of the Quarterly Low-Load Mutual Fund Update (which will be published soon), foreign funds outperformed their domestic counterparts in most categories.
It is a source of base load, low-carbon and largely fixed-cost power for many utilities.
WSJ: The Experts: What's the Best Way Forward on Nuclear Power?

Iran's stock of low-enriched uranium is bigger: only about half of it would be needed to produce the equivalent fuel load for the medical reactor.
