Westinghouse President and CEO Patrick Fragman visited Poland last week and the site of the country’s first nuclear power plant to see the progress of preliminary work along the Baltic Sea. He also met with Polish President Andrzej Duda, U.S. Ambassador Mark Brzezinski and many other leaders on the heels of the government’s new commitment of 60 billion zloty ($15.6 billion USD) to the project.

While the official launch of the AP300 is significant, Durham noted it stems from nearly four decades of development. Westinghouse first embarked on developing its advanced passive (AP) technology with a 600-MWe iteration (AP600) in 1985 in an effort that responded to utility demand for certainty related to construction schedules, licensing, and op...
The rollout of the new AP300 appears to be staked on Westinghouse’s development of an innovative and more comprehensive portfolio that will serve “the needs of diverse global customers” now and in the future. When the company first unveiled the new SMR concept at the ASME Conference for Advanced Reactor Deploymentin College Station, Texas, in Febru...
Durham told POWER in April a key motivator for Westinghouse’s AP300 launch is to capture growing end users, particularly outside the U.S. “More countries are committing to decarbonization, but not all of those countries’ grids can handle large reactors,” he said. This “is very relevant in Europe and parts of Asia. Many countries use coal plants for...
For Westinghouse, cultivating certainty is an important attribute given that amuch-cited factor that directly affects the cost of capital, and, ultimately, a nuclear project’s levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)—is the risk of delays. The AP1000 expansion at Vogtle, prominently, is frequently referenced as an example of exorbitant delays and cost ...
Keeping capital costs manageable also directly plays into how the AP300 will sustain competition with other energy resources. “We validated this with some customers,” Durham noted. “An SMR—just because it’s smaller, and particularly with the footprint like the AP300—will cost less in total dollars,” he said. “We’re talking single, low-billion versu...
May 4, 2023 · Cranberry Township, PA, May 4, 2023 – Westinghouse Electric Company today launched its newest nuclear technology, the AP300™ small modular reactor (SMR), a 300-MWe single-loop pressurized water reactor. The AP300 SMR design is scaled from the advanced, proven AP1000® reactor and is the only SMR truly based on an Nth-of-a-kind operating plant.
