And Toshiba has some very interesting "micro-nuke" reactor technology that is already deployed in a demonstration project in Alaska.
If you would carefully read the article you linked to, you would see that the NRC has yet to approve the mini reactor in Alaska.
It will generate power for 30 years before refueling and should be installed before 2010 providing an approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

My bad.
they have the tech, however, which is the interesting part. I knew about the project, did a quick google and linked to the first article I found. I wasn't aware that it had yet to be deployed or even approved. Still, the point of my post is that they have interesting next gen technology and I interpret the acquisition of Westinghouse as positioning them for better access to the US market (think Dubai Ports).
