So the French have superior "commitment, accountability, control, and legal stability" for running nuclear power plants than the Chinese, the Indians, the Cameroonians, the Nigerians, the Chadeans do at present: I might buy that.  But can't these factors be improved to the same degree that France has them through learning, training, experience, and yes, increased know-how?  (I am guessing your answer will be, Yes, they can be improved to that level, but the real question is how long will it take to get to that level, and will it be soon enough for them to implement nuclear power instead of fossil fuels.)

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
