Innovative Technology and Industry Expertise offer a Simplified Path to Plant Modernization
When the world’s first AP1000® plants came online at the Sanmen and Haiyang sites with no major startup issues, it confirmed for the world what we already knew – our instrumentation and control (I&C) solutions bring peace of mind to utilities concerned about their systems’ reliability. But how does this success translate to operating plants across the globe?

Reimagined Design Brings a New Perspective to Performance
The Westinghouse Digital Rod Position Indication (DRPI) display system has been the backbone of the DRPI architecture for more than 40 years. But as more utilities begin to seek plant life extension, we recognize the need to revisit our technology and push our innovation boundaries yet again in order to ensure reliable plant operation.

On Thursday March 12th, CFFF’s Jordan Knerr, Tiffani Teachey and Eris Speights visited Bridge Creek Elementary in Columbia, SC, to participate in their STEAM-M Day Expo. The Westinghouse team presented an introduction to atoms and electricity. The school is currently teaching students lessons on matter and phase changes, i.e., water to steam. The CFFF team explained how different elements are composed of various sized atoms and the process of nuclear fission. They also led an exercise where students were asked to construct their own atoms by using gumdrops, marshmallows and toothpicks. Jordan, Tiffani and Eris demonstrated how water can be boiled and changed into steam powering a turbine to generate electricity. The students and presenters had a great time talking about chemistry and electricity!
