Westinghouse Suppliers Present Benefits of Building U.S. AP1000® Fleet to Congress

Deploying Proven AP1000 Plants Will Boost American Competitiveness While Creating Significant Economic Benefits and Tens of Thousands of Jobs

Washington, D.C., March 25, 2026 – More than 40 Westinghouse Electric Company supply chain partners gathered in Washington, D.C., to meet with members of the U.S. Congress to share the benefits of building a U.S. fleet of AP1000® plants, the only advanced, grid-scale reactor that is commercially available today.  

Through more than 100 meetings with their Congressional delegations, Westinghouse and its suppliers shared the economic impact and manufacturing jobs created in their states by building a fleet of AP1000 units. Fully licensed and construction-ready, the advanced AP1000 modular reactor is positioned to deliver on the Trump Administration’s plan to build a fleet of large nuclear reactors. In addition, the AP1000 plant is the world’s most proven advanced reactor, including two units in commercial operation at Plant Vogtle that are setting industry records for performance.

“Work to deliver an AP1000 reactor can begin immediately, answering the Administration’s call for new gigawatt-scale nuclear while creating high-paying, highly skilled jobs across the country,” said Dan Sumner, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Westinghouse. “Westinghouse and our experienced supply chain are prepared to start nuclear construction at scale in the United States, supporting tens of thousands of American jobs and delivering more than $92 billion in GDP. We appreciate the continued support of Congress on key policies that will support and enable nuclear construction in the U.S.”

Westinghouse suppliers outlined how a fleet deployment of AP1000 plants will boost the competitiveness of the nation’s most energy intensive industries, such as artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing. The proven AP1000 unit is the quickest way to add advanced nuclear generation to the grid to meet the rising demand from American homes and businesses. America’s supply chain, construction industry and labor unions are ready to deliver new nuclear now.

The advanced AP1000 reactor is the only operating Generation III+ reactor with fully passive safety systems, modular construction design and the smallest footprint per MWe on the market. There are six AP1000 reactors currently setting operational performance and availability records worldwide with 14 additional reactors under construction and five more under contract. The AP1000 technology has been selected for nuclear energy programs in Poland, Ukraine and Bulgaria, and is also under consideration at multiple other sites in Europe, the Middle East and North America.
