Westinghouse Electric Company

From new reactors in the U.S., Poland and China to nuclear fuel for Ukraine to developing #NuclearEnergy for space exploration, take a look back at our many achievements in 2023 and come with us as Westinghouse goes even bigger in 2024.

📌📅 Exciting news! Starting on Monday, April 8, our eVinci™ team will be attending the Space Foundation Space Symposium, a highly anticipated space industry event! Throughout the entire week, our AstroVinci™ team will be talking about the bright future for our microreactor technology and its many applications that will take #NuclearEnergy to the next frontier!   🚀 Stop by Booth No. 1049 in North Hall to chat with Westinghouse experts about our AstroVinci, ranging from: ⭐ 10 years of continuous safe power ⭐ Mass efficient and compact for space transport and deployment ⭐ Resilient design for extreme operating environments and more.   📰 Check out our latest blog post to read more about the Space Symposium and our AstroVinci here: https://bit.ly/3U2z2Ki

Westinghouse is proud to be the platinum sponsor of the 2024 ANS Student Conference taking place this week at Penn State University. This event for students in the #NuclearEnergy industry allows for opportunities to share research, learn about new technology and network with professionals. We are excited for students to have the opportunity to tour our Waltz Mill facility in western Pennsylvania, hear from Westinghouse leaders during panel discussions and learn more about how we are shaping the future from our very own Senior Vice President for the AP300™ SMR, Dr. Rita Baranwal, who is the conference's keynote speaker and an American Nuclear Society fellow.

👏 Congratulations to our colleagues at Georgia Power Company and Bechtel Corporation as well as the many Westinghouse employees who have worked tirelessly to get Plant Vogtle Unit 4 to 100% power! This milestone brings us one step closer to commercial operation for Unit 4, enabling #CarbonFree power generation across communities in Georgia.

We are in Calgary this week for the SMR Canada Summit 2024! As a global leader in nuclear technology and innovation, we are committed to playing a pivotal role in achieving net-zero emissions. Our fully designed and operating advanced Gen III+ reactor, the AP1000® PWR, is ready now, and our AP300™ small modular reactor is the world’s only SMR based on Nth-of-a-kind operating plant technology. Stop by to see us at Booth #20! Learn more about our work in Canada and the recent expansion of our offices in Burlington, Ontario: https://lnkd.in/e5HtWcVP #SMR #NuclearEnergy

Westinghouse is proud to support the Palisades Nuclear Plant’s landmark restart efforts! Our focus is on preparing plant conditions and its people for future operations. Westinghouse brings broad capabilities to the effort, including our advanced teaching and learning model used to train plant operators. Palisades, which closed in 2022, will be the first nuclear plant in the United States to undergo a “repower” upon receipt of approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to restart operations. Coming back online will provide hundreds of jobs, as well as safe and reliable carbon-free electricity for Michigan.

We announced today two key changes to the Westinghouse leadership team. Ron Timperio has been appointed Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, Global Operations Services, and Adam Silverstein has been appointed Executive Vice President, Quality, Environment, Health & Safety. “Strong execution across our global operations coupled with the highest standards of safety and quality is critical for both our day-to-day and long-term success,” said Patrick Fragman, Westinghouse President and Chief Executive Officer. “Ron is a seasoned executive who brings to Westinghouse an unrelenting focus on performance and delivery through diverse, cross-functional experience across global industries. Adam is a strategic leader whose advanced expertise in quality has been transformative throughout his extensive career, which will serve us well at Westinghouse.” Congratulations to Ron and Adam on their new roles!

It's been an exciting month talking about the bright future for our microreactor technology and its many applications both on Earth and beyond! Westinghouse experts earlier this month shared the latest on our eVinci™ technology with the mining industry at #pdac2024, the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention held in Toronto, Canada. We also attended the Satellite 2024 conference and expo in Washington D.C., where we presented the AstroVinci™ microreactor's space applications.

📰 🌟 Our Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) technology and our selection by the U.S. Department of Energy to build a 100-megawatt #EnergyStorage facility in Alaska was featured recently in a New York Times story. This facility will be powerful enough to supply ~80,000 homes with electricity for up to 12 hours at roughly half the cost of a facility that uses lithium-ion batteries. Describing our LDES solution, the New York Times writes: "The company’s technology works like a heat pump, using carbon dioxide in a supercritical state — at such high temperature and pressure that it acts like a hybrid of a liquid and a gas — to transfer heat, produced by excess electricity, into concrete blocks. Later on, the heat stored in the blocks is used to generate electricity." 🔗 Read the full article here: https://nyti.ms/3PwdG5h Learn more about our safe and sustainable LDES technology: https://bit.ly/4cJtJaf

We're proud to support Teollisuuden Voima Oyj during their maintenance outage at OL3. Thank you to all of our staff and on-site partners working to make these steam generator inspections a success for TVO.
