But no matter what, the money will go to a mix of US and foreign companies. The recent construction expertise has to have been gained overseas, so you have to think that even if American multinationals get the contracts, they will end up partnering on some level with foreign-based. On the other hand, I believe Areva, from France, has already won some contracts for the next round of expansion, but of course they will end up using American subcontractors to perform a lot of the work.
