The first day of the 25th annual U. S. Women in Nuclear conference, hosted by Westinghouse in Pittsburgh this year, has been a blast! Our Operating Plant Services President Dan Sumner and Outage and Maintenance Services President Pam Cowan gave opening remarks this morning, followed by Georgia Power President and CEO Kim Greene's keystone speech. Greene then sat down for a Q&A moderated by Westinghouse customer account manager Tova Anderson, who serves on WIN's Steering Committee. This year, more than 900 attendees are taking part in the biggest U.S. WIN conference ever! During the annual awards ceremony, our Westinghouse Pittsburgh chapter took home a prize for excellence in public outreach. #USWIN2024

"I like to tell people that we tested and commissioned Unit 4 in approximately half the time we tested and commissioned Unit 3. So yes, there are tons of lessons, and Southern Company is committed to helping other utilities both in the United States and around the world learn from our experience as they go off to build." -- Southern Nuclear Senior Vice President John Williams speaking with the World Nuclear News podcast about Plant Vogtle's two new advanced Westinghouse AP1000® reactors in the state of Georgia. Unit 3 came online last summer and Unit 4 came online in April. They are the first new reactors in the United States in 30 years. Listen in at the link below to hear John's full interview with WNN about the lessons learned at Vogtle.

Westinghouse held a three-day, in-depth technical training last month in Warsaw for key suppliers of Poland's first-ever nuclear power plant, which will be comprised of three advanced AP1000® reactors. The training is part of the preparation for the execution phase of the project in Lubiatowo-Kopalino. “The selection of the advanced AP1000 technology represents a 100-year partnership between Poland and the United States, and we are thrilled to leverage impressive suppliers like these to help execute this work that will positively shape generations to come," said Miroslaw Kowalik, president of Westinghouse Poland.

Components within #NuclearEnergy reactor vessel internals (RVIs) can degrade over time and we offer an alternative to visual inspections, which typically occur on critical path during a refueling outage. By analyzing "neutron noise" data within the RVI, we can monitor abnormal vibrations from degraded components, including: ✅ Broken shield flexures ✅ Hold down spring relaxation ✅ Wedged loose parts evaluation ✅ Fuel assembly vibration ✅ Contact at lower radial supports ✅ BMI thimble tube vibration and wear Learn more about remote condition monitoring that uses our #NeutronNoise system and can be tailored to meet a utility's needs: https://bit.ly/45UHr6W

Westinghouse is delighted to confirm the submission of our AP300™ SMR into the Great British Nuclear Technology Selection Process. Many congratulations to the Westinghouse team around the world and our partners for completing the next stage of the Great British Nuclear Small Modular Reactor competition – the Submission of Initial Tender. The AP300 SMR is an evolution of our advanced AP1000® reactor, which is now deployed in both China and the United States and licensed in the UK. The pedigree of the AP300 #SMR, its proven technology, and real supply chain base make it and Westinghouse the perfect fit for delivering GBN’s and the UK Government’s important energy security and net zero goals. “This partnership can deliver clean, reliable energy to consumers in the United Kingdom for decades to come, powering a century or more of growth and prosperity in the UK. We are proud to propose our proven APX (AP300 and AP1000) technology, coupled with our skilled UK workforce and more than 75 years of nuclear manufacturing experience in-country, to create a true partnership with Great British Nuclear,” said Dr. Rita Baranwal, Westinghouse Senior Vice President for the AP300 SMR.

Three of our more than 200 summer interns told us what they are working on and what they're excited about during their time at Westinghouse this year. These future engineers are handling really cool projects, from AP1000® and AP300™ design work to data integration. Learn more about our internship and co-op opportunities: https://lnkd.in/ez-EZ_Su
