Rolls-Royce buys second US company

UK engineering company Rolls-Royce has acquired US-based nuclear
engineering services provider PKMJ Technical Services for an undisclosed
sum. Lawrie Haynes, president-nuclear at Rolls-Royce, said the
acquisition "represents another significant step towards growing our
global civil nuclear business." The company bought US-based specialist
reactor services provider R Brooks Associates in September 2011.

Unless it is more to do with building nuclear submarines....

No, its not. RR have accepted that they cant get into main civil reactor
building - too much investment, too risky - but they are very big in the
control systems that go in as well.

They don't build aircraft either - just engines.

But they do have more than a foothold in the nuclear business, and if
the political climate changes..
