In 2024, support for #NuclearEnergy surged to the highest level in decades and Westinghouse is leading the charge. Here is a look at our many successes and milestones from the last 12 months.

Westinghouse Parts Business is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of all nuclear-related intellectual property from Atlas Industrial Manufacturing Co. With the Atlas IP acquisition, Westinghouse now owns and will be able to produce the original designs for all safety, ASME III, and non-safety related heat exchangers, vessels and equipment manufactured by Atlas for nuclear plant applications. Westinghouse’s stewardship of these designs exemplifies the commitment to providing dependable, long-term solutions to our customers.

This week, we proudly welcome more than 30 Westinghouse suppliers from across the country to join us on Capitol Hill to discuss the benefits of our AP1000? technology, the only fully licensed, construction-ready advanced nuclear reactor available today. The proven and operating AP1000 reactor is the quickest way to add advanced nuclear generation in the U.S. to meet the needs of the nation’s most globally competitive and energy demanding industries. And it delivers a big economic impact – every two-unit AP1000 project, whether built in the US or overseas, creates or sustains more than 45,000 American jobs in manufacturing and engineering. The supply chain is ready to get to work now, to bring affordable and abundant baseload energy to the grid. #AP1000 #Reactor #WestinghouseProud #WestinghouseNuclear #Nuclear #NuclearIndustry #SupplyChain

?? Exciting news! The advanced AP1000? reactor has been downselected by Fortum for #NewNuclear projects to meet increasing energy demand in Finland and Sweden over the next 20 years. This further demonstrates that the construction-ready and proven AP1000 reactor can be deployed immediately in Europe to deliver affordable, abundant and clean energy. The AP1000 technology has also been selected for nuclear energy programs in Poland, Bulgaria , and Ukraine. Read more: https://bit.ly/4hHKoMy

The nuclear industry recently lost a technology leader and pioneer with the passing of Ed Cummins, who previously served as vice president and chief technologist for Westinghouse’s New Plant Technologies. Known for his visionary approach and commitment to advancing nuclear technology, Ed made significant contributions throughout his 43-year Westinghouse career that helped shape industry standards and pave the way for safer, more efficient, advanced reactor designs – including the AP1000? PWR. He was regularly sought out for his technical expertise by industry groups, and in 2012, Ed received the George Westinghouse Lifetime Achievement Award for his impact in driving leading-edge technology and fostering technical excellence during his career. Westinghouse is so much better for his leadership, his contributions to the advancement of nuclear technology and his nurturing of the next generation of technical leaders.
