Saudi reactors

After a quick google search, I think this is a deal that they did with China back in 2012, aiming to get 16 new reactors online by 2030.
In a way, it's a good thing, more oil for the west (at a price), but since the Saudis are chief backers of Pakistans program, the Indians are going to be annoyed.
Furthermore, with Irans NPP plans, it's probably just the beginning of a nuclear reactor race around the Persian Gulf, which can only end well.

Well those are the wrong reactors for getting weapons, though they could get enrichment equipment as an offset deal stuff.

BTW what was the topic title edited? Or did I get it wrong somehow?
