Well, I worked at Westinghouse Bettis Atomic Power Lab under the auspices of Naval Reactors, back in the 70’s.
Westinghouse-designed reactors were the best. They powered the Nautilus, the Enterprise (both of them) and many military and civilian reactors.
I hope this deal goes through.

Westinghouse AP1000 plants are the inherently safe design. IOW the plant can go dark (no power), and by means of it’s natural convection design & with no operator intervention, the reactor will immediately shutdown & the plant will slowly cooldown.
Proven design on US subs for 30+years.

from 30,000 feet, it seems like a winwinwinwin.
more US business, needed energy for India, less pollution, less dependance on China trade.

Westinghouse was a brilliant guy...better than Edison, just more humble.

And strengthening India - for all its faults the world’s largest Democracy and a counterbalance to both China and Pakistan- is a big win.

I hope so.
Given the level of pollution in India, almost anything would help
other than another Fukushima....

Actually just talking about George Westinghouse. However that is probably true about GD.
