The premier Sunni nation is Saudi Arabia. Not just Sunni - but Wahhabist Sunni. They see their primary enemy as their Shi'ite co-religinists - regardless what you hear about Crusaders and Zionists. They do not trust their Persian Shi'ite neighbor or their Arab Shi'ite minorities.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil supplier, is set to establish a civilian nuclear and renewable energy centre to help meet increasing demand for power as the country pushes forward with economic expansion plans.And remember....
The official Saudi press agency said on Saturday that the new centre, the King Abdullah City for Nuclear and Renewable Energy, would be based in Riyadh and would be led by Hashim Abdullah Yamani, a former commerce and trade minister.
Although all discussions have focused upon civilian uses of the technology, analysts note that Saudis and the other Arab Gulf states do not want to lag further behind Iran and Israel in developing nuclear technologies.
