We’re Changing Nuclear Energy … Again.

Westinghouse changed the energy industry on Dec. 2, 1957 when Shippingport, the first commercial nuclear power station in the U.S., came online. Shippingport was an engineering marvel, featuring cutting-edge technology in everything from modern machinery to metallurgy. Today, Westinghouse is changing nuclear energy again with its revolutionary new accident tolerant fuel design, EnCore^® Fuel.

May 21, 2017 - As an executive member of Westinghouse Women in Nuclear (WIN), I had the privilege of presenting our annual scholarship award to an aspiring female engineer. WIN provides professional leadership development for females already in the nuclear industry and introduces and educates young women on engineering careers – something that I feel very strongly about. Supporting female engineers and women in the nuclear industry is perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of my job.

Delivering Optimal Outage Performance to Our Global Fleet

Categories: Safety, Our People & Culture, Engineering

Just like automobiles, nuclear power plants have to be “tuned up” on a regular basis to keep them running efficiently and for a long time. Westinghouse’s outage services team comprises 4,000+ dedicated men and women who safely perform the vital refueling, services, inspection and installation/modification work needed on a regular basis to keep nuclear plants in peak operating condition. Our craftspeople, engineers, welders, technicians and machinists precisely plan and time every detail of an outage to minimize interruptions in electricity generation and enable our customers to get their plants back online on schedule.
