Westinghouse continues to advance cutting-edge innovations inside fission reactors, including producing clean hydrogen for fuel and radioisotopes for cancer treatments. Recently, we have taken our industry-leading expertise in fission to support the design of a fusion reactor being developed in France.
Imagine a remote outpost in an arctic region, the Northern Lights fluttering in the distant night sky, and important work taking place in and around the facility. Currently, the most likely way this laboratory or industrial operation or military base can be powered and heated is through transported diesel fuel—both expensive and polluting, or a grid-based coal-fired plant if nearer a coastal region, also polluting.
