Pittsburgh - Westinghouse Electric Company is pleased to learn of Georgia Power’s recommendation to the Georgia Public Service Commission to support completion of the two Westinghouse AP1000^® nuclear power plant units currently under construction at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, Georgia, USA.

Springfields – Employees at the Westinghouse nuclear fuel manufacturing site at Springfields, near Preston, have helped the British Red Cross maintain a much-needed wheelchair service in Lancashire.

Westinghouse Springfields has joined a government-backed Nuclear Apprenticeship Trailblazer Group to help train the next generation of nuclear engineers.

Late in 2014, the government announced a new programme called Degree Apprenticeships in a number of fields, including nuclear engineering. Because of its long tradition offering engineering apprenticeships, Westinghouse Springfields was chosen as one of the initial members of the Trailblazer Group to help develop the new programme.
