Today, Westinghouse Interim CEO Dan Sumner shared with @POTUS@DonaldTrump and U.S. Sen. @DaveMcCormickPA our bold plans to deliver on the President's vision to have 10 large reactors under construction across the U.S. by 2030, which is expected to create $75 billion in economic value.
“We’ve taken the call-to-action under your executive order to partner with companies across our industry to mobilize a plan to deliver 10 AP1000® reactors in the US with construction to begin by 2030,” Dan Sumner said during the CEO Roundtable at the inaugural Energy Summit and Expo in Pittsburgh, Pa. “When we deploy a fleet aligned to your vision, we’ll drive $75 billion of economic value across the United States with $6 billion of value here in Pennsylvania. Implementing your vision will create or sustain over 55,000 jobs across the country and over 15,000 jobs in the Commonwealth alone, and these are great jobs across manufacturing, engineering, and construction.”
The time for home-grown nuclear energy is now and Westinghouse is ready to deliver. Thank you, President Trump and the many leaders who came to the summit today. @WhiteHouse

📌 On this day in 1893, President Grover Cleveland pushed the button to light the World’s Fair in Chicago, powered by Westinghouse!
💡 Illuminated by ~100,000 incandescent lamps, this "White City" was powered by George Westinghouse's alternating current system – the future of electricity.
Thank you Director General @rafaelmgrossi for your longtime leadership, and to the @iaeaorg for your partnership in helping provide safe, reliable #NuclearEnergy to the world.
We hosted more than 135 companies from all over the world this week at our global headquarters for a #SupplyChain symposium that delved into manufacturing, logistics and engineering services, among other scopes of work.
Westinghouse President & CEO Patrick Fragman and other business leaders spoke of the crucial role suppliers play in achieving great work for our customers and covered issues like safety, quality, timely delivery and cost competitiveness.
🤝 Thank you to all our suppliers who attended!
Westinghouse President & CEO Patrick Fragman met with journalists yesterday at U.S. Ambassador @Bijan's residence at the @USEmbassyPrague to present a new, independent report on the substantial economic benefits of deploying Westinghouse AP300™ SMR technology in the Czech Republic. 🇺🇸 🤝 🇨🇿
The AP300 #SMR project, once operational, would contribute Kč 95.3 billion to GDP in Czechia and support a total of 8,500 direct and indirect jobs annually. Read more: https://t.co/4Jq3eiKWlG
Caution: HOT!
Westinghouse engineers fire up 12’ heat pipes! These high-performance alkali metal heat pipes transfer heat from the core of the eVinci™ micro reactor and can operate at temperatures in excess of 800⁰ C.
That’s close to 10 times hotter than the coffee you pick up at the drive-thru!

Did you know the Westinghouse Sign was a trailblazer in more ways than one? Installed in 1967, it was the first computer-controlled sign in the world! Its neon-lit "W" logo was made up of 81 parts and could display 120 unique light patterns, creating endless mesmerizing sequences that lit up #Pittsburgh’s skyline. Many believed the combinations would never repeat, making it an iconic symbol. At 200 feet wide, this sign wasn’t just big—it was a beacon of Pittsburgh’s industrial power, standing proud for over 30 years before being removed in 1998 to make way for PNC Park.
In her #USWIN2024 keynote speech this morning, @GeorgiaPower's @KimGreeneCEO highlighted the opening since last July of Plant Vogtle's advanced AP1000® Units 3 and 4. @WomenInNuclear's 25th annual conference this week is capping a momentous year for #NuclearEnergy!
Happy Canada Day! (Fête du Canada!) Westinghouse is proud to celebrate the history, culture and diversity of this great country as we strive for a clean-energy future. #HappyCanadaDay#CanadaDay#Canada https://t.co/AkMi6hYzos
We opened a global engineering hub in Kitchener, Ontario. The expansion of our Canadian presence will enhance our work at the country’s existing CANDU® nuclear reactors and develop future projects involving our advanced AP1000® reactor, AP300™ SMR and eVinci™ microreactor.
What do we mean when we say “clean energy for a growing Georgia”? With the completion of Plant Vogtle Units 3 & 4, Georgia is now home to the largest generator of clean energy in the nation. This state is open for business and our economy continues to grow and thrive! We’re ready to meet the energy needs of a growing Georgia.
Thank you to all of the elected officials, business & community leaders and employees who came out this week to celebrate this new generation source, expected to operate for at least 60 – 80 years! #unitedstates #Vogtle #PlantVogtle #EcconomicDevelopment #Georgia #GeorgiaPower #energy #goodenergy
Westinghouse made great progress in 2023 to become a more sustainable company. Our annual Sustainability Report highlights the steps we are taking to minimize our own carbon footprint & achieve net-zero emissions by 2050: https://t.co/qNpYQQzuVo

Let’s remember that before this post 6 years ago today, the internet did not have a floating dumpster whose lonesome journey touched something deep in the souls of millions. Video: Fred Williams/KDKA.
Didja know the @westinghouse Research Center in suburban Pgh, was designed as a choo-choo in tribute to George Westinghouse's invention of the railroad air brake?!?
