*The TRITON11® fuel assembly is Westinghouse’s optimized and robust BWR fuel design, offering unmatched fuel cycle economic and performance benefits. *

The TRITON11® fuel assembly is Westinghouse’s optimized and robust BWR fuel design which offers unmatched fuel cycle economic and performance benefits. Westinghouse previously delivered the Optima2 fuel design to American utilities. This contract renews and builds on the previous BWR fuel and engineering services partnership between the companies.

“We are very pleased to strengthen further our long-standing partnership with U.S. utilities and to bring back the most advanced BWR fuel to America’s reactors,” said Tarik Choho, Westinghouse President of Nuclear Fuel. “We are confident this milestone will leverage the successful performance we have had with our European customers in the BWR market so far.”

Westinghouse will establish TRITON11 manufacturing capabilities at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility in South Carolina for future deliveries in the U.S.
