[edit] ABB Group?
I've been following links to Westinghouse to bypass that disambiguation page. This article currently says that BNFL bought ABB Group and merged it with Westinghouse - that can't be right? Any Westinhouse people out there who can tell me what this sentence was supposed to say? --Wtshymanski 17:59, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It seems that someone shortend the facts too much: ABB sold it's nuclear power division in 2000 to BNFL. --81.63.23.196 00:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Renamed?
I worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation back when they bought CBS. It was this corporation that divided itself into two companies: Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which was the broadcasting portion, and Westinghouse Electric Company, which was the nuclear et al company. (I worked for the nuclear fuel division of the corporation (and then of the company when it was split off).) I left the company before they renamed themselves to CBS and before BNFL bought the nuclear company. Thus, I'm not 100% sure the name wasn't changed in the interim, but the name was certainly Westinghouse Electric Company before BNFL and is certainly the name now under BNFL. It seems most likely that the name was continuous and that BNFL did 'not' rename the company but rather kept the name it was given at its formation by the parent Westinghouse Electric Corporation. --Paul 63.237.124.70 02:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Devastating blow" ?
The section about Moving to Cranberry Township looks more like a newspaper editorial than a wiki article, so I've tagged it with POV-section. I don't know anything about the matter itself to be able to clean it up properly.
Also, this paragraph includes an inline link to the "memo" that talks about the move; I don't normally see links like this: it smells to me like it would be better to excerpt the key points of the memo, and then list that as a reference instead.
