Well, that's exactly where Dave moved to in 1975, Lynchburg. Good to hear you still have some competition ;)

However, with that said, Westinghouse still has done a good majority of the work here in the states.

Thanks for the plant output explanation. Never hurts to learn something new.

Actually you have to add GE to the competitor list with their APBWR. One of the other potential sites for it is in Clinton, IL.

Westinghouse is hiring like crazy. I would guess that they have added over 1000 new engineers, mostly new college grads in the last 2 years. They kicked out all the tenants of the west tower of the Energy Center, remodeled it, and are now populating it. Things are looking really good right now. I have friends who work for both GE Nuclear in San Jose, CA, and Areva in Lynchburg (the nuke world is a very small community), who say that their companies are hiring also.
