Westinghouse Electric Company

Throwback Thursday to a macro milestone for our eVinci™ microreactor! Earlier this year, we completed fabrication and assembly of the Limits Experiment of Advanced Heat Pipes – also known as LEAHP – the most advanced heat pipe test bed Westinghouse has ever constructed. In May, testing demonstrated 12-foot heat pipe performance at 800°C and achieved Westinghouse’s highest heat transfer to date – an important achievement for our eVinci™ microreactor technology. This one-of-a-kind platform puts heat pipe technology to the test, helping our teams study performance and operating limits under controlled conditions. The data generated will help validate models, support licensing, and advance the future of our heat pipe technology.

We told you it was coming — and now it's here! Westinghouse continues to invest in our customers and personnel by expanding our world-class training capabilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee. For years, we've delivered our BWR reactor training at full depth from Chattanooga. Now, we're raising the bar as the new standard for PWR reactor training that builds upon the foundational expertise our trainees receive at our Waltz Mill Service Center in Pennsylvania. At Westinghouse Chattanooga, we train and qualify our personnel in both BWR and PWR fuel movement operations. Our full-depth core and spent fuel pool simulator delivers a training experience that's as close to real-world plant conditions as possible. The journey to a truly proficient and capable refuel team just became shorter and more reliable. Trainees gain hands-on experience in fuel handling, core maintenance, modifications, upgrades, and underwater operations. In addition to this expanded capability for our team and our customers, our facility enhancements also build valuable experience for IVVI and MRP-227 programs.

Today, Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) handed over the site of Poland's first nuclear power plant to our construction partner, Bechtel Corporation, marking an important milestone in the delivery of three AP1000® reactors at Choczewo. Together with PEJ and Bechtel, we are advancing a project designed to meet the highest standards of quality and safety. This investment will strengthen Poland's energy security and independence, support regional economic development, and create opportunities for the country's energy sector to build expertise and long-term capabilities. Major projects succeed through collaboration, shared expertise, and a commitment to excellence. We are proud to work alongside our partners to help make Poland's nuclear energy future a reality. https://lnkd.in/ex3jB5bA Dziś Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) przekazały naszemu partnerowi, firmie Bechtel, teren pod przyszłą budowę pierwszej elektrowni jądrowej w Polsce, co stanowi ważny krok w realizacji projektu trzech reaktorów AP1000® w Choczewie. Wspólnie z PEJ oraz Bechtel realizujemy projekt opracowany z myślą o spełnieniu najwyższych standardów jakości i bezpieczeństwa. Inwestycja ta wzmocni bezpieczeństwo i niezależność energetyczną Polski, wesprze rozwój gospodarczy regionu oraz stworzy możliwości rozwoju specjalistycznej wiedzy i długoterminowych kompetencji w krajowym sektorze energetycznym. Realizacja projektów tej skali wymaga ścisłej współpracy, dzielenia się wiedzą oraz konsekwentnego dążenia do najwyższych standardów. Jesteśmy dumni, że wraz z naszymi partnerami przyczyniamy się do budowy przyszłości energetyki jądrowej w Polsce. https://lnkd.in/ex3jB5bA

We have entered into a series of agreements with Amentum, a global leader in advanced engineering and technology solutions, to support fleet-scale deployment of our AP1000® reactor while also advancing development of our AP300™ SMR. “We continue to make investments to strengthen our proven APX platform, and our ongoing collaboration with Amentum is expected to accelerate the licensing of the AP300 SMR with the NRC," Westinghouse President and CEO Dan Sumner said. "Separately, our two companies will work together to enhance our engineering and execution capabilities for delivering 1-gigawatt reactors at scale.” Learn more about this important collaboration: https://lnkd.in/eFtqC9yt

The U.S. Government’s announcement to launch a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia is a landmark step that strengthens energy security, expands opportunities for U.S. industry and workers, and drives significant long-term economic growth and investment benefits for both countries. Thank you to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Sec. Chris Wright and President Trump for your support of this new era of nuclear energy. The White House

Congratulations to Idaho National Laboratory and all of the partners for securing Phase 2 funding for Prometheus, an initiative bringing together national laboratories, universities and industry partners to advance innovation across the nuclear energy lifecycle.   Westinghouse is excited to be a part of this important collaboration and contribute our expertise to help advance this agentic AI platform, which is designed to address key national challenges to empower nuclear energy. One of Prometheus’ goals is to enable the nuclear industry with a 10x design & licensing time reduction!

As nuclear plants continue addressing equipment obsolescence, annunciator systems must evolve while preserving the operator familiarity that supports safe and efficient plant operations. The Westinghouse Annunciator System modernizes legacy annunciators with a fully digital solution built on the proven Emerson Ovation® Distributed Control System (DCS) platform. The system replaces traditional lamp-boxes with commercial off-the-shelf displays while maintaining the alarm patterns and visual cues operators rely on every day. The result is improved reliability, reduced lifecycle costs, enhanced alarm management capabilities, and a future-ready modernization path. Key Advantages ✅ Fully redundant architecture with no single point of failure ✅ Advanced alarm filtering, suppression, and prioritization ✅ Integrated Sequence of Events (SOE) recording and alarm history review ✅ Seamless integration with existing Ovation DCS infrastructure ✅ Reduced lifecycle costs and simplified technology refreshes ✅ Enhanced operator awareness through advanced visualization tools ✅ Preserves familiar operator alarm patterns and annunciator functionality What annunciator obsolescence challenges is your facility facing today?

Thank you to Greg Beard, Director of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) U.S. DOE Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF), for visiting our Bridge Street facility in Etna, Pennsylvania. We provided an up-close look at the 87,000-square-foot innovation hub, where we are advancing our reactor technologies for today's nuclear fleet and for tomorrow's nuclear energy possibilities. We also had the opportunity to share some of the innovations that will accelerate a fleet deployment of advanced AP1000® modular reactors in the U.S., strengthening the nation's nuclear supply chain and creating real economic benefits for American families. We appreciate our strong partnership with DOE and look forward to working together for America's nuclear future!
