Default the UK IS doing something with nuclear power..

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....

I guess they had better brighten up their image, is this the same Rolls
Royce accused of back handers to sell their engines?

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..

is there another way to sell engines in today's world?

Salesmen and 'facilitators' all work on commissions...

Of cxourse HGE or parrtt and Whitney are always happy to paint the
competition black when they fail to make a major sale. Because their
bribes weren't big enough.
