The '''Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation''' ('''Rosatom''') is the successor agency to the [[Soviet]] state nuclear agencies. Rosatom is aggressively pursuing export contracts throughout the world with its business model of “Build-Own-Operate” (BOO). Rosatom offers to attend to all aspects of construction and operation of a nuclear project. Theoretically, this model would allow a nation to become a nuclear state even though it has little to no knowledge and infrastructure in place to support operation and oversight of a [[nuclear reactor]]. The [[United States]] does not compete in the global market for low cost, nuclear generated and environmentally friendly [[electricity]], with [[France]] being the Russian Federation's only competitor in the developing and former "[[Third World]]". The model increases the client's dependency on Rosatom to operate the reactor, as well as its dependency on imported uranium.
