Toshiba’s Chairman Resigns as Its Nuclear Power Losses Mount - The New York Times

The trouble stems from Toshiba’s management of Westinghouse Electric Company, the American nuclear power business it acquired a decade ago. Westinghouse faces spiraling cost overruns at nuclear plant projects in the United States, and Toshiba said on Tuesday that it would like to sell all, or part, of its controlling stake in the company. Previous efforts to offload a portion of its shares in the subsidiary have failed, however.
Le nucléaire n’est pas rentable. Les coûts augmentent... et l’équilibre des industriels passe par la multiplication des sites. Spirale économique.
