Westinghouse has no major 'impact'

Local partner plays down effect of Toshiba nuclear unit's bankruptcy

China's State Power Investment Corp said the bankruptcy of its US partner Westinghouse would not exert a "substantial impact" on the ongoing AP1000 nuclear reactor construction project in China, and the two sides would ensure it would be completed on schedule.

SPIC released the statement after Westinghouse Electric Corp, a unit of Toshiba Corp, announced it was filing for bankruptcy due to huge losses.
