Westinghouse is to appeal a US district court decision to dismiss a lawsuit to stop two South Korean state-run companies from exporting nuclear power plants, determining it is not qualified to take the legal move.
The District Court for the District of Columbia rejected the complaint that Westinghouse filed against Korea Hydro Nuclear Power (KHNP) and parent company Korea Electric Power (Kepco) last October.
The US company filed the suit to prevent the South Korean companies from transferring technical information on reactor designs, which it claims have been licensed by it, to Poland and other countries under a US export control regulation.
