Westinghouse SMR: the Next Step in Nuclear Energy
Categories: Technology Leadership
As a global nuclear energy leader, Westinghouse has taken another step forward in simplicity and passive safety with our new, smaller-footprint advanced light-water reactor design. Our conceptual Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor (SMR) is based on decades of Westinghouse knowledge, capabilities and licensing experience, coupled with a legacy of licensed AP1000® Plant passive safety technology and components.
Steam Generator Services
Categories: General Topics
Since the company’s inception in 1886, innovation has been a cornerstone of Westinghouse Electric Company. It’s no surprise, then, that Westinghouse was the first vendor to bring revolutionary steam generator technologies, such as suitcase eddy current, alternate repair criteria, sleeving, auto analysis and soft chemical cleaning, to market. For more than 40 years, Westinghouse has served the industry with a complete range of solutions for steam generator inspection, service and maintenance.
The Future of the U.S. Nuclear Industry
Categories: Next-Gen Plants, Policy & Government
New nuclear is moving forward; the four AP1000® nuclear power plants currently being built in the U.S. attest to that fact. Even though gas prices and other market influencers have slowed nuclear new build progression in general – there is still a very promising future for the U.S. nuclear industry and it is invigorating to be a part of it. Nuclear energy is a sustainable source of clean energy that also addresses the need for energy security to support the recovering economy. You cannot have one without the other.
