Summary

Westinghouse Electric Company is the largest Western nuclear technology company, owned 51% by Brookfield (with institutional partners) and 49% by uranium miner Cameco since their $7.9B acquisition closed in November 2023. Nearly half of the world's operating nuclear reactors are based on Westinghouse technology, and its fuel and operating-plant-services businesses serve PWR, BWR, and VVER fleets globally — generating about $5.0B of revenue in 2025. Its flagship AP1000 reactor is the only fully licensed advanced large reactor operating in the US (Vogtle Units 3 and 4 in Georgia), with four more units operating in China and orders or advanced programs in Poland, Bulgaria, and Ukraine. In October 2025 the US government announced an $80B+ strategic partnership with Westinghouse, Brookfield, and Cameco to build a fleet of AP1000 and AP300 reactors across the United States, followed in June 2026 by a conditional $17.5B DOE loan commitment to finance long-lead components for up to 10 AP1000s. Alongside the large-reactor buildout, Westinghouse is developing the 330 MWe AP300 small modular reactor and the 5 MWe eVinci microreactor, which is slated for first fueled testing at Idaho National Laboratory and was selected for deployment at Malmstrom Air Force Base. Under CEO Dan Sumner, appointed in April 2026, the company sits at the center of the US nuclear renaissance.

Main Products

AP1000

AP1000

Active

Generation III+ pressurized water reactor with fully passive safety systems and modular construction — the only fully designed and licensed advanced large reactor operating in the United States, and the reference design for the US nuclear buildout and for new plants in Poland, Bulgaria, and Ukraine.

Operating at Vogtle Units 3 & 4 in Georgia (commercial operation 2023 and 2024) and at four units in China, with Chinese derivative units expanding the fleet to 12 operating reactors. Ordered or in advanced development for Poland (3 units), Bulgaria (Kozloduy 7 & 8), and Ukraine (9 units planned starting at Khmelnytskyi); in the US, four units at Project Matador in Texas entered NRC environmental scoping in March 2026 and the VC Summer completion effort is in feasibility. In April 2026 Westinghouse designated Vogtle Unit 4 as the standard reference plant for fleet-scale US deployment.

AP300 SMR

AP300 SMR

In Development

330 MWe (990 MWt) single-loop small modular reactor derived directly from the licensed AP1000, reusing its passive safety architecture and supply chain to shorten the path through licensing and construction.

In NRC licensing engagement with design certification anticipated by 2027. First announced fleet: an agreement with UK's Community Nuclear Power to deploy four AP300 units in North Teesside, England, targeting commercial operation in the early 2030s; the AP300 is also part of the October 2025 $80B US government buildout partnership alongside the AP1000.

First planned fleet4 units, North Teesside (UK), early 2030s
eVinci microreactor

eVinci microreactor

In Development

Transportable 5 MWe heat-pipe-cooled microreactor with TRISO fuel and no water cooling, designed to run for eight-plus years without refueling — targeting remote communities, mining, industry, data centers, and military installations.

First microreactor developer to complete front-end engineering (FEEED) and win DOE approval of its Preliminary Safety Design Report for the DOME test bed at Idaho National Laboratory, where a fueled test-reactor experiment is slated to begin in 2026. Selected by the US Air Force and Defense Innovation Unit in April 2026 for deployment at Malmstrom Air Force Base, and targeted for a first Canadian commercial deployment with the Saskatchewan Research Council by 2029.

Output5 MWe (15 MWt core)
Refueling interval8+ years
First deploymentsMalmstrom AFB (US); Saskatchewan, Canada (target 2029)

What's Next

First fueled eVinci test at INL's DOME test bed

Begin the fueled eVinci test-reactor experiment (a 3 MWt scaled unit) at the National Reactor Innovation Center's DOME facility at Idaho National Laboratory — the first US microreactor test of its kind, de-risking the commercial eVinci design.

2026

Convert DOE $17.5B commitment into firm US AP1000 orders

H2 2026

Bulgaria's final investment decision on Kozloduy 7 & 8

Bulgaria plans a 2026 final investment decision on the two AP1000 units at Kozloduy being developed with Westinghouse and Hyundai E&C, targeting commercial operation of Unit 7 in 2035 and Unit 8 in 2037.

2026

AP300 NRC design certification

Complete US NRC design certification of the AP300 small modular reactor, anticipated by 2027, opening the door to site-specific licensing and construction of the first unit toward the end of the decade.

2027

First commercial eVinci deployment in Saskatchewan

Deliver the first Canadian eVinci microreactor with the Saskatchewan Research Council under its CAD 80M project, projected to be operational by 2029 subject to licensing and regulatory approval.

2029

Operations & Revenue

StatusOperational

Fully operational and profitable at the core: the nuclear fuel and operating-plant-services businesses serve reactor fleets worldwide (about $5.0B of 2025 revenue), boosted by work on the Dukovany new-build in the Czech Republic. The growth engine is the AP1000 buildout — Vogtle 3 & 4 operating in Georgia, engineering contracts executing for Poland's first plant and Kozloduy 7 & 8 in Bulgaria, licensing started for nine units in Ukraine, NRC environmental scoping underway for four units at Project Matador in Texas, and the VC Summer completion effort in feasibility — backed by the October 2025 $80B US government partnership and a conditional $17.5B DOE loan commitment (June 2026) for long-lead items on up to 10 US reactors. The AP300 SMR is in licensing and the eVinci microreactor test unit is preparing for first fueled testing at Idaho National Laboratory.

Revenue Streams

Nuclear fuel

Fuel fabrication for PWR, BWR, and VVER reactors from plants in Columbia (South Carolina), Springfields (UK — 80 years of fuel manufacture in 2026), and Västerås (Sweden). Westinghouse is the Western supplier of VVER fuel, enabling Ukraine and Eastern European operators to replace Russian supply.

Operating plant services

Outage services, maintenance, modernization, instrumentation and controls, and spare parts for the roughly half of the world's reactors built on Westinghouse technology — the company's largest and steadiest business.

New plant deployment (AP1000)

Reactor technology, engineering, and equipment for new AP1000 plants: the US fleet buildout under the $80B government partnership, Poland's three-unit first plant, Bulgaria's Kozloduy 7 & 8, nine planned units in Ukraine, and participation in the Czech Dukovany project.

Advanced reactors (AP300 SMR & eVinci microreactor)

Next-generation product lines in development: the 330 MWe AP300 small modular reactor derived from the AP1000, and the 5 MWe transportable eVinci microreactor targeting remote sites, industry, data centers, and defense installations.

2025$80B US government strategic partnership

In late October 2025 the US government announces a strategic partnership with Westinghouse, Brookfield, and Cameco to build at least $80B of new AP1000 and AP300 reactors across the United States, with the government facilitating financing, permitting, and regulatory approvals.

2025VC Summer AP1000 completion effort revived

Santee Cooper's board approves Brookfield's proposal to purchase and complete the two abandoned AP1000 units at the VC Summer site in South Carolina for $2.7B, aiming to add 2,200 MWe; Westinghouse engineers are already on site for feasibility work.

2024Vogtle Unit 4 completes the first US AP1000 pair

Vogtle Unit 4 enters commercial operation on April 29, 2024, making Plant Vogtle the largest clean-energy generator in the US and giving Westinghouse two operating flagship AP1000 units on American soil.
