"Westinghouse Electric Corp. yesterday received preliminary approval for a nearly $5 billion loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to support its bid to build up to four nuclear reactors in China." I have no problem with that, although some might see it as a threat. The Chinese are the oldest contiguous civilization (that we know of) on earth...and I'm sure they intend to keep it that way; they didn't get there by being stupid and reckless. Who knows, maybe it will even lower our oil prices a bit.

Westinghouse still exists? I thought it had been reduced to selling off its name to Chinese light bulb firms.

Too bad there is no chance of building four nuclear reactors here.

Inside talk I have heard is that Westinghouse is the favorite going in. Their PWR design might not be the best or most up-to-date, but it is a proven safe design and has lots of operational time behind it.
Westinghouse built the original nuclear sub nuke reactor, and it never failed once. Thus they have a long and friendly relationship with the US govt.
