For more than three years, Westinghouse has been executing the transformation of the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF). We have aligned our company goals and values with our operations to achieve world-class quality while operating in a safe, transparent, environmentally sound, and socially responsible manner. We have self-identified our challenges and proactively initiated engagement with regulatory bodies and the surrounding communities to resolve issues through trust, honesty, and respect. We have introduced our Environmental Excellence Plan to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and used it to implement our commitments under the Consent Agreement (CA). The CA is designed to correct legacy environmental issues and ensure remediation strategies match industry standards of excellence – because integrity is at our very core.

As part of the agreement, we share weekly updates and submit monthly progress reports to SCDHEC. These reports are publicly available on SCDHEC and CFFF websites.
