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.
The demand for carbon-free hydrogen fuel is expected to grow tenfold by 2050, as the race is on to transition away from fossil fuels and hydrogen produced by fossil fuels. Hydrogen fuel is made for uses in fertilizer, transportation and heavy industries like steel and iron production.

Westinghouse is proud today to celebrate National Intern Day, which recognizes and celebrates the future leaders of the world: interns!
Let’s take the time to celebrate our #WECInterns across the globe for their dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work this summer.
At Westinghouse, we acknowledge the value, perspective, and support that our interns bring to the organization, and we enjoy the opportunity to accompany our young professionals on their journey.
Here is a look at nine of our more than 200 interns working throughout the summer, and what they have to say about their experience at Westinghouse.
