More than 50 years ago, we helped build the first nuclear power plant in the United States. Today, we have more than 9,000 employees and we're operating in 19 countries around the world. Our services continue to be in demand, because of the growing need for electricity and the desire to produce it without harming the environment. Nuclear isn't all that we are, though. Our family includes Westinghouse Government Services, which supports U.S. government needs by applying the company's advanced technologies and capabilities in nuclear operations and decommissioning, as well as engineering, procurement and construction management; Stone & Webster, driving our growth in non-nuclear markets through our support of projects in the fossil and renewable power generation sectors, like aircraft engine manufacturers, large processing facilities and artificial joint makers; and Mangiarotti, based in Italy with a focus on components and manufacturing.
