Kinda,

Westinghouse was a once proud and mighty United States Company that is now owned by a foreign power. We no longer possess the manufacturing muscle to manufacture a nuclear power plant on our own. So good that we are going nuke, very, very bad that we cannot manufacture them ourselves.

Westinghouse actually killed itself with bad investments in real estate. Most of what was once a great company was sold off piecemeal over the last 25 years or so to pay off the losses - I think the nuke business was the last remnant of the original company still called Westinghouse. I worked for the Power Gen unit for many years until it was sold to Siemens and gutted - they canned a huge number of experienced employees when the Enron fiasco took a huge bite out of their business, including me. Nice to see that they are still around and getting some work.
