⚡More Power. Fewer assemblies. Greater resilience!

Our EnCore® High Energy Fuel (HEF) Program combines advanced fuel designs, materials and cladding technologies to help reactors operate more efficiently. The result: higher enrichment, better fuel utilization and more power generated with fewer assemblies, easing fuel management along the way.

The program integrates Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) technologies, enhancing performance under extreme conditions while strengthening safety margins.

Five years of Westinghouse in Poland. What a journey it has been!

Since opening our doors in 2021, Westinghouse Poland has grown into a thriving team of nearly 500 professionals whose talent and dedication continue to drive our success. Over the past five years, we have built strong teams in Kraków, expanded our capabilities, supported projects across Poland and around the world and made meaningful contributions to the communities where we live and work.

But our story is about more than growth. It is about being a part of Poland's nuclear energy future. From supporting the country's first nuclear power plant project to helping develop the expertise and capabilities needed for long-term energy security, our teams are contributing to a transformational journey that will have a lasting impact for generations to come.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud of everything we have achieved together and grateful to our employees, customers and partners who have been part of the journey.

Here’s to the first five years and to the many years and opportunities ahead!

A major step forward for advanced nuclear innovation: Westinghouse has completed zero-power criticality testing for the eVinci™ microreactor in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center, a National Nuclear Security Administration facility at the Nevada National Security Site.

The achievement validates key design assumptions and supports continued development of resilient, transportable nuclear energy solutions for remote and challenging environments.

Tiny but mighty. Despite being no bigger than a fingertip, a uranium fuel pellet packs an incredible amount of energy.

Engineered with precision and designed to unlock the power stored within uranium atoms, each pellet plays a vital role in delivering reliable, safe, 24/7 electricity to homes, businesses and industries.

Throwback Thursday to a macro milestone for our eVinci™ microreactor!

Earlier this year, we completed fabrication and assembly of the Limits Experiment of Advanced Heat Pipes – also known as LEAHP – the most advanced heat pipe test bed Westinghouse has ever constructed. In May, testing demonstrated 12-foot heat pipe performance at 800°C and achieved Westinghouse’s highest heat transfer to date – an important achievement for our eVinci™ microreactor technology.

This one-of-a-kind platform puts heat pipe technology to the test, helping our teams study performance and operating limits under controlled conditions. The data generated will help validate models, support licensing, and advance the future of our heat pipe technology.

Congratulations to Idaho National Laboratory and all of the partners for securing Phase 2 funding for Prometheus, an initiative bringing together national laboratories, universities and industry partners to advance innovation across the nuclear energy lifecycle.

Westinghouse is excited to be a part of this important collaboration and contribute our expertise to help advance this agentic AI platform, which is designed to address key national challenges to empower nuclear energy. One of Prometheus’ goals is to enable the nuclear industry with a 10x design & licensing time reduction!

Idaho Falls, IDAHO – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has selected the Prometheus project to receive a Phase II award of $60 million over three years (subject to appropriations).

Thank you to Greg Beard, Director of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF), for visiting our Bridge Street facility in Etna, Pennsylvania.

We provided an up-close look at the 87,000-square-foot innovation hub, where we are advancing our reactor technologies for today's nuclear fleet and for tomorrow's nuclear energy possibilities. We also had the opportunity to share some of the innovations that will accelerate a fleet deployment of advanced AP1000® modular reactors in the U.S., strengthening the nation's nuclear supply chain and creating real economic benefits for American families.

We appreciate our strong partnership with DOE and look forward to working together for America's nuclear future!
