TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday he did not want to comment on media reports that Toshiba Corp's <6502.T> U.S nuclear unit, Westinghouse, will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Toshiba wants Westinghouse to file for bankruptcy as early as Tuesday, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters, seeking a quick ringfencing of losses before the Japanese parent's financial year ends.
