This could be interesting for...
...UK energy policy. Toshiba having been hugely harmed by US nuclear cost problems, and looking at the problems EDF/Areva are having with their EPR new builds, it would seem a grave error of judgement for Toshiba's board to engage in new build nuclear in the UK. As Tosh are the most significant part of the NuGen consortium, looking to build a three reactor plant at Moorside (=Sellafield), this could be a big problem for the carbon-obsessed energy policy that the UK has. Hinkley Point is on course to be the world's single most expensive folly, and the sale of Westinghouse to Tosh by serial traitor Gordon Brown, well.....polite words fail me.
Looks like we'll have to sit and shiver in the dark when the wind's not blowing.
