Except for this part. “Westinghouse Electric, a unit of the Japanese Toshiba Corp”

Really? You mean the part about how British Nuclear Fuels and Toshiba had the common sense to keep American technology alive while we have had our collective heads up our national arse on nuclear energy?

Yeah. Shame on Toshiba for supporting American industry when AMERICA refused to.

I’ll give Toshiba credit for moving ahead, I just hate to see foreign companies take our stalwarts over.

Yeah. Why don't we just boycott Toshiba! When after all, America decided she didn't want nuclear in her backyard since TMI, we should have put Westinghouse Nuclear COMPLETELY out of business, and now we could be looking at some European company building nukes in the US.

Pardon my ignorance, but does "supporting American industry" include selling American submarine propeller technology to the Soviets (who, just as a reminder, butchered many more people than Hitler)?

FWIW, knock yourself out...

No, REALLY it is about sharing technology with our enemies. Giving our enemies advantages that we alone once possessed.
