Trivia to think about while you do your WitP-AE turns: Besides having a tiny role in making your 32" TV, Westinghouse also makes the A4W reactor and prior to that the A2W reactor. These reactors are what make 94000t - 106000t nuclear aircraft carriers move through the water at 30+ knots. So while their TV's might not be anything to write home about, I can assure you that they do make decent nuclear propulsion systems for ships.
