Westinghouse Settles Uranium Price Dispute
Pittsburgh AP Westinghouse Electric settles a dispute with Duquesne Light Ohio Edison and Pennsylvania Power by receiving cash, equipment and advice instead of honoring a contract to supply uranium at $9 per pound. The deal avoids a potential $2 billion gap over 20 years as uranium prices soar to about $40 per pound. Remaining suits by 24 utilities in Virginia and Sweden are pending. Westinghouse cites an international conspiracy among suppliers to justify the price hike and notes it initially tried to renegotiate before refusing to honor the contracts.
