Westinghouse Electric Company is the world's leading supplier of new nuclear plants, products and technologies.

A big step toward deploying a fleet of 10 AP1000® reactors in the United States happened today thanks to U.S. Energy @SecretaryWright, who announced up to $17.5 billion in federal loans for the purchase of the most complex components of new nuclear power plants. Advanced procurement of these long-lead time items (LLIs) can accelerate construction and commercial operation by upwards of three years. We’re proud to be working with the U.S. Department of @ENERGY's @DOE_EDF to strengthen nuclear supply chains, reduce costs and accelerate deployment of AP1000 reactors, the only fully designed and licensed advanced reactors operating in the United States today.

Yesterday, Westinghouse announced a nearly $1 billion investment in the next generation of nuclear fuel at our Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility in South Carolina. Here’s why it matters: Our new LEU+ fuel production will allow nuclear power plant operators across the United States to run longer between refueling outages. We first successfully installed LEU+ fuel in an American nuclear reactor last year. In the future, our expanded Hopkins, S.C., facility will help make nationwide deployment a reality, bringing this super-efficient fuel industrywide and creating next-generation fuel products that will continue to support nuclear energy production well into the future. Leading nuclear technology. Made in South Carolina. Learn more: info.westinghousenuclear.com…

Thank you to Kyle Haustveit, @EnergyUnderSec at the U.S. Department of Energy (@ENERGY), for visiting our Bridge Street innovation hub in Etna, Pennsylvania! We took Sec. Haustveit on a tour of the facility just outside Pittsburgh where we are developing innovations that we believe will accelerate a fleet deployment of advanced AP1000® modular reactors in the U.S. in partnership with U.S. DOE Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF). He also got an up-close look at our eVinci microreactor, which recently achieved zero-power high-temperature criticality at @LosAlamosNatLab and in partnership with @NNSANews and the Nevada National Security Sites. Westinghouse is excited to continue working together for America's nuclear energy future!

I welcome Westinghouse’s $1 billion investment in South Carolina because it underscores their faith in our state. Once again, the South Carolina workforce has proven itself to be the gold standard. Not only does this $1 billion mean more affordable power for South Carolinians and people across America, but it will also bring good-paying jobs to the Palmetto State. As a national leader in nuclear energy production, South Carolina will continue to be well-positioned to lead the next generation of American energy innovation and dominance.
Get ready for the next generation of nuclear fuel to be produced at our manufacturing facility in South Carolina! Westinghouse today announced that we are investing nearly $1 billion to expand our Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility, enabling commercial-scale LEU+ fuel manufacturing. This advanced fuel will increase the power generated and enhance the safety of fuel used at nuclear power plants across the United States. The expansion also marks a new era for the Columbia facility, where a local workforce of more than 1,200 professionals has been leading nuclear fuel innovation for the past six decades. The site already provides the fuel that accounts for 10% of the entire United States’ electricity needs. The new LEU+ plant will be the first fleet-scale nuclear fuel factory built in the U.S. in more than 50 years. Operations are expected to begin in 2030.

It’s an exciting moment for @PSEGNews as they lead the way on developing cobalt-60 at Salem Nuclear Power Plant. The isotope can be produced without affecting power generation and has far-ranging applications in the fields of medicine and food safety.
We’ve given Salem Units 1 and 2 the OK to be the first pressurized-water reactors to produce Cobalt-60. The isotope can sterilize medical equipment, help keep food safe and meet other industrial needs. nrc.gov/docs/ML2625/ML26257A…

A major milestone for Europe and the ITER fusion reactor: The fifth and final Vacuum Vessel sector for the massive experimental reactor built on the continent has arrived at the site in Cadarache, France. Drawing on 16 years of experience across four previous sectors, our teams refined complex assembly and machining processes to complete this first-of-a-kind, 500-tonne component. Through thousands of intricate manufacturing tasks, they demonstrated ingenuity, craftsmanship and technical excellence. The sector will join eight others to form the heart of the world’s largest fusion device, while expanding technical knowledge, specialized skills and Europe’s industrial capabilities for future fusion technology. Thank you to our teams and partners at @fusionforenergy, Ansaldo Nucleare, Walter Tosto S.p.A. and @iterorg for turning lessons learned into shared progress.
