    I thought it was a Russian reactor.

    I don't know.
    One of the biggest controversies was the Marcos connection with Westinghouse. First, Marcos requested that National Power Co. (the government owned electric utility) negotiate a deal to buy two nuclear reactors. Westinghouse used connections to Marcos to strike the deal. Already known to be more expensive than other options, the Westinghouse contract jumped from $650 million for only one reactor to $2.2 billion. Later, evidence of large sums of money going to President Marcos himself was found. Westinghouse denied corruption accusations.

    Ah well, you should not count out the Dutch Dave, as you are well aware, the number of expressions in English relating to the Dutch and money are almost too many to count, so as for being thrifty, we might be right up there with the Scots as far as reputations go.

    There's actually a joke about it too:
    Q Who invented copperwire?
    A A Dutchman and a Scot fighting over a cent (penny if you like)

    Very confusing this thread:

    When @DAVE1952 wrote "LSD" I misunderstood. Most of what he writes could have been written under the influence! *

    Now "Dutchie"appears:
    My friend the dutchie
    Just turn it up, okay
    Now pass the dutchie
    Alright you’re cool

    * Not really - he even gave me the recipe for Bailey's (at about P200 per bottle) if anyone is interested.

    No defiantly and old obsolete piece of rubbish which Westinghouse was decommissioning for the US government. Good ploy send all to the Philippines then no worry about getting expensive waste energy costs

    Our bill for August equates to P13.48/kWh - Nearly P2/kWh more expensive than Noreco II and almost daily outages. Am now seriously considering investing in solar!
