Westinghouse Electric Company is continuing to work with the United Kingdom’s Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre
“The Westinghouse SMR is an innovative, industry-leading technology that builds upon the company’s extensive reactor and fuel technology expertise”, said Jeff Benjamin, Westinghouse senior vice president, New Plants and Major Projects. “Nuclear AMRC has broad experience in design for the manufacture of large, complex parts for safety-critical applications, and its support will help to increase the efficiency of our design, while building on our specialized UK value proposition.”
Earlier this year Nuclear AMRC conducted its first advanced manufacturing research study on the Westinghouse SMR’s Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV), one of the largest and most demanding parts of any reactor. The study concluded that Westinghouse’s design had the potential to be efficiently manufactured in the UK, a significant growth market for Westinghouse.
For the latest advanced manufacturing study, alongside Nuclear AMRC, Westinghouse has also partnered with Cammell Laird. “Cammell Laird has over forty years’ experience in the design, manufacture, assembly and transport of large complex modules to a number of safety critical sectors. We are pleased to bring this knowledge to support the Nuclear AMRC in undertaking the Nuclear Module study for Westinghouse,” said Jonathan Brown, managing director, Cammell Laird.
