CNBC - February 23, 2025: Expanding two power plants in Georgia and South Carolina with big, new reactors was supposed to spark a “nuclear renaissance” in the U.S. after a generation-long absence of new construction.
Energy.gov - July 1, 2025: Westinghouse and Radiant were the initial companies selected to test their microreactor designs in DOME, the world's first microreactor test bed at Idaho National Laboratory.
Financial Times - June 8, 2025: Westinghouse is in talks with US officials and industry partners about deploying 10 large nuclear reactors to meet the goals of President Donald Trump’s executive orders, which aim to unleash an American atomic energy renaissance.
Popular Mechanics - May 8, 2025: The miniaturization of a powerful source of energy is already underway, and it will be safer and cheaper than traditional nuclear power.
E&E News by Politico - March 27, 2025: Perhaps no reactor design has rattled U.S. nuclear policy as dramatically as Westinghouse’s AP1000.
Axios Pittsburgh - March 4, 2025: Penn State is launching a new research facility anchored by one of the world's smallest nuclear reactors.
The Globe and Mail - February 24, 2025: Canada and the world are facing dual imperatives to decarbonize the energy supply and achieve energy security amid a volatile geopolitical landscape, said participants at a recent panel discussion exploring the future of nuclear.
The Cool Parts Show - January 9, 2025: Pressurized water reactors (PWCs) use nuclear fission to heat water and create steam which in turn drives turbines to produce electricity. To drive and control the reaction, each reactor has multiple assemblies of fuel and control rods, held in place by spacer grids. These grids are conventionally manufactured through stamping and welding. However, Westinghouse Electric Company and Carnegie Mellon University have collaborated on a new design, which can be manufactured additively using laser powder bed fusion to produce each grid as just one piece. 3D printed spacer grids have the potential to reduce the total part count, speed production, reduce cost and enable new or adapted designs for these critical components.
The Globe and Mail - July 8, 2024: U.S.-based nuclear reactor vendor Westinghouse opened a 13,000-square-foot engineering office in Kitchener, Ont. The company wants to sell its products, including its flagship AP1000 reactor, in Canada while also serving international customers.
The Wall Street Journal - June 7, 2024: After Russia’s full-scale military invasion, Ukraine abruptly stopped buying nuclear fuel from Moscow, its top supplier in an industry that accounted for more than half of the country’s electricity generation.
