Of what used to be 154 business units, the nuclear division is the only one to still carry the Westinghouse name. It's just a name, the empire is dead and burried.

In fact, virtually all the pieces of the old Westinghouse are alive and doing very well -- just under different owners these days. It was a great company with outstanding products, excellent people, top notch technology and the world's absolute worst top management through the 80s and early 90s. Breaking it up and selling the pieces was the best thing for the employees and customers. All are doing very well now.
