Get ready for the next generation of nuclear fuel to be produced at our manufacturing facility in South Carolina!

Westinghouse today announced that we are investing nearly $1 billion to expand our Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility, enabling commercial-scale LEU+ fuel manufacturing. This advanced fuel will increase the power generated and enhance the safety of fuel used at nuclear power plants across the United States.

The expansion also marks a new era for the Columbia facility, where a local workforce of more than 1,200 professionals has been leading nuclear fuel innovation for the past six decades. The site already provides the fuel that accounts for 10% of the entire United States’ electricity needs. The new LEU+ plant will be the first fleet-scale nuclear fuel factory built in the U.S. in more than 50 years.

Operations are expected to begin in 2030.

WE ARE … grateful for great partners.

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi and members of her leadership team as part of our growing partnership. The visit included a look at innovation in action and a chance to connect with Westinghouse leaders, employees, retirees and alumni who continue to strengthen the ties between our organizations.

Penn State and Westinghouse share a long history of advancing innovation, developing talent and tackling some of the world's most important challenges. Together, we're creating new opportunities for research, workforce development and the deployment of technologies that will help power the future.

We look forward to continuing this important partnership and all that we will accomplish together.

A major milestone for Europe and the ITER fusion reactor: The fifth and final Vacuum Vessel sector for the massive experimental reactor built on the continent has arrived at the site in Cadarache, France.

Drawing on 16 years of experience across four previous sectors, our teams refined complex assembly and machining processes to complete this first-of-a-kind, 500-tonne component. Through thousands of intricate manufacturing tasks, they demonstrated ingenuity, craftsmanship and technical excellence.

The sector will join eight others to form the heart of the world’s largest fusion device, while expanding technical knowledge, specialized skills and Europe’s industrial capabilities for future fusion technology.

Thank you to our teams and partners at Fusion for Energy, Ansaldo Nucleare, Walter Tosto S.p.A. and ITER Organization for turning lessons learned into shared progress.

Today, Westinghouse and the University of South Carolina announced a partnership to advance nuclear workforce development through the university's planned Nuclear Innovation Center.

Together, we will explore opportunities to create a multidisciplinary training program designed to prepare the skilled workforce needed to support a fleet deployment of AP1000® reactors in the United States. Potential capabilities include advanced plant operations simulators, hands-on construction and maintenance training, and multidisciplinary engineering education.

By investing in people, skills and innovation, we are helping build the workforce that will power the next generation of nuclear energy.
