The world needs more energy than ever before. The world cannot meet these demands and keep the lights on for homes and businesses without nuclear—and the world cannot build more nuclear without Westinghouse.
Customers need a partner with the knowledge to solve their toughest challenges, the industrial strength to deliver at scale and the vision to shape what’s next. Westinghouse technology and services underpin the world’s nuclear fleet, and our creators, thinkers and builders are driving the next generation of nuclear innovation.
George Westinghouse built his legacy on making technology better, faster and more efficient, founding Westinghouse Electric and 59 other companies and earning more than 360 patents. His innovations transformed rail travel and electric power, establishing a culture of engineering leadership that extended into nuclear energy in 1957, when Westinghouse supplied the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor. Today, Westinghouse technology remains the basis for approximately half of the world’s operating nuclear reactors.
There exists a form of energy of which we have yet no knowledge, but which may yet become available to us as a result of further discoveries.
