Westinghouse Electric in Talks to Build US Nuclear Reactors

Japan's Toshiba Corp has announced its US energy business Westinghouse Electric is in final talks with two power companies to build up to four next-generation nuclear reactors in the US.

Toshiba has been in talks with SCANA Corp and Southern to build up to two plants in South Carolina and two in Georgia, a Toshiba spokesperson told Reuters.

If Westinghouse wins the deals, the power reactors will be the first AP1000 models to be built in the US.
