Westinghouse Electric defends its cancellation of uranium supply contracts with utilities serving 33 million customers.

He said hiring a second firm would be ill advised and plans to seek a Appalachian Regional Commission grant to cover 80 percent of the overrun after bidding. Joe Johnson alleged a major cost error and homeowners faced assessments between $600 and $1,200 based on original estimates.
