Westinghouse Electric Company
Reactor Designer
Our company has a 130-year
history of innovation that began when our founder, George Westinghouse,
commercialized the alternating current and forever changed the way electricity
was distributed. Our legacy continues in the nuclear era, which originated when
we built the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor in
Shippingport, Pennsylvania. More than 60 years later, 430 nuclear reactors
operate around the world, about 50% using Westinghouse technology.
While we are proud of our
past, its real value lies in providing a guide for our future. As the world
strives to address the challenges of a changing climate, we are constantly
rethinking the way we deliver nuclear energy.
From the efficient and
economical AP1000® nuclear plant to the new eVinci™ micro-reactor for remote
energy applications, we are leading the way with the development of new nuclear
technologies that will enable us to share the benefits of this reliable, clean,
safe and economical source of energy for generations to come.
