Sumner Redstone must have thought nukes were on the way out. From what I understand, he kept MTV and dumped CBS and the nuclear business.

Regarding the selling price, it seems to have gone up in a bidding war. Nevertheless, British Nuclear Fuels Limited sold too soon and for too little, as China was jumping into the nuclear power game with both feet.

OTOH, getting one's foot in the door is the main point of the nuclear game, isn't it?
