Westinghouse Electric Company is shaping the future of carbon-free energy by providing safe, innovative nuclear and other clean power technologies and services globally including AP300™ small modular reactor, a nearly identical, though smaller, version of the proven, licensed, and operating AP1000® reactor.
Its small size makes it easy to transport and quickly install, unlike traditional plants requiring extensive construction. It generates 5MWe from a 15MWth core, capable of running for over eight years at full power before needing refueling.
