Westinghouse Electric Company
has a proven track record for providing the safest,
most advanced and cost-effective technologies for the commercial nuclear power industry. Our research and
technology is the basis for nearly half of the world’s operating nuclear power plants, and we continue to make
investments in new technology and processes that will take safety to even higher levels.
Worldwide electricity demand is expected to nearly double by the year 2030 and Westinghouse is preparing to meet
this increased demand, while continuing to service existing plants. Leading the nuclear renaissance is our newest
reactor design, the
AP1000
nuclear power plant. It is designed to shut down automatically, without the need for
backup power, and will cool itself for 72 hours before any human intervention is necessary. This is made possible
through the use of gravity, natural circulation, condensation and convection.
Westinghouse is also meeting the increased
challenges faced by today’s global power industry
with the introduction of the Westinghouse SMR,
a 225 MWe integral pressurized water reactor
(PWR), with all primary components located
inside of the reactor vessel. It utilizes passive
safety systems and proven components, as well
as modular construction techniques—all realized
and already licensed in the
AP1000
nuclear
power plant design. Westinghouse believes that
this proven approach will provide licensing,
construction and operational certainty that no
other SMR supplier can match with competitive
economics.
