Nuclear power splits atoms to create energy; yet, when it comes to shaping a carbon-free future, Westinghouse is committed to harnessing an even more potent source of power: The strength of human ingenuity. The company has a 130-year history of innovation that began when founder, George Westinghouse, commercialized the alternating current and forever changed the way electricity was distributed. The legacy continues in the nuclear era, which originated when they built the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor in Shippingport, Pennsylvania. More than 60 years later, nearly half of the nuclear reactors in operation around the globe use Westinghouse technology.
While proud of the past, the real value lies in providing a guide for the future. As the world strives to address the challenges of a changing climate, Westinghouse is constantly rethinking the way nuclear energy is delivered. From the efficient and economical AP1000® nuclear plant to the new eVinci™ microreactor for remote energy applications, Westinghouse is leading the way with the development of new nuclear technologies that will enable the benefits of this reliable, clean, safe and economical source of energy to be shared for generations to come.
