Westinghouse Electric Company LLC is an American nuclear power company formed in 1999 from the nuclear power division of the original Westinghouse Electric Corporation.[3] It offers nuclear products and services to utilities internationally, including nuclear fuel, service and maintenance, instrumentation, control and design of nuclear power plants. Westinghouse's world headquarters are located in the Pittsburgh suburb of Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Brookfield Business Partners is the majority owner of Westinghouse.[4]

History[edit]

For further chronological details, see Westinghouse Electric Corporation § Timeline of company evolution.

Westinghouse Electric Company was formed in 1999 after the original company with that name, George Westinghouse's Westinghouse Electric, founded in 1886, ceased to exist due to a series of divestitures and mergers through the mid-to-late 1990s. These included Westinghouse Electric's purchase of CBS in 1995, expansion into communications and broadcasting, and the selling off of most non-broadcast operations by 1998; renaming itself CBS Corporation. That same year, the Westinghouse Power Generation Business unit was sold to Siemens of Germany. In 1999, CBS Corporation sold its nuclear business (Westinghouse Electric Company) to British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL).[5] and a year later CBS Corporation was merged into Viacom (1971-2005), thus putting an end to the original Westinghouse. (Legally, Westinghouse Electric Corporation still exists, mainly for the purpose of licensing, as a subsidiary of CBS Corp.)

Sale to Toshiba[edit]

In July 2005, BNFL confirmed it planned to sell Westinghouse, then estimated to be worth $2 billion.[6] This attracted interest from several companies, including Toshiba, General Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. When the Financial Times reported on January 23, 2006 that Toshiba had won the bid, it valued the company's offer at $5bn (£2.8bn).[6] On February 6, 2006 Toshiba confirmed it was buying Westinghouse Electric Company for $5.4bn and announced it would sell a minority stake to investors.[7] The sale surprised many industry experts who questioned the wisdom of BNFL selling one of the world's largest producers of nuclear reactors shortly before the market for nuclear power was expected to grow substantially; China, the United States and the United Kingdom were all expected to invest heavily in nuclear power.[8] After the 2005 Indo-US nuclear deal, there was also hope that India's plan of massive investment in nuclear plants would help to revive the U.S. nuclear power industry.[9] Reasons in favor of a sale were: The commercial risk of the company's business in Asia may have been too high for a company then owned by taxpayers; if Westinghouse won the bid for any new nuclear stations in a UK competition, questions may be raised of favoritism, but if it lost, it might have been seen as a lack of faith in its own technology. Finally, the record of UK governments building nuclear plants had been a commercial disaster.[10]

On October 16, 2006 the acquisition of Westinghouse Electric Company for $5.4 billion was completed, with Toshiba obtaining a 77% share, partners The Shaw Group a 20% share and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. a 3% share.[11] On 13 August 2007 Toshiba sold 10% to Kazatomprom, the national uranium company for the Republic of Kazakhstan, for US$540 million, leaving Toshiba with 67%. Kazatomprom's ownership is entirely passive, with no voting or veto rights or presence on the board of directors.[12]

In September, 2011, Toshiba was reported to be in talks to acquire the Shaw stake[13] and both companies confirmed the story soon thereafter. Shaw CEO James Bernhard said[when?], that Toshiba was paying US$1.6 Bn for the Shaw-owned 20% stake, and that it was the 50% rise in the yen on its yen-denominated debt over five years, which had led it to exercise its sale option. Toshiba said in late 2012 it was open to, and considering, having other partners invest in the business. The purchase closed in January 2013, and brought Toshiba's share in the company to 87% as a result of Shaw exercised its option.[14][15]

Move to Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania[edit]

After several years of doing business there, Westinghouse decided to move its world headquarters from the Energy Center in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, to Cranberry Woods in Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, as reported in a 2007 memo to its employees[16] that stated the main reason was the rapid expansion of the global nuclear industry. Construction began in July 2007, the move lasted from June 2009 to December 2010. The Repair, Replacement and Automation Services (RRAS) business segment moved to Cranberry Township earlier than other business segments to help alleviate space issues at the headquarters in Monroeville and was completed in spring of 2008. As part of this move, Westinghouse piloted the first commuter shuttle running an all-day loop between Monroeville and Cranberry Township. The shuttle ceased operation after Westinghouse formally closed, and sold their Monroeville facility in 2012.

2015 accounting difficulties[edit]

In 2015, concerns were expressed that the value of assets and goodwill in Westinghouse were overstated. Following an accounting scandal in which profits were overstated at Toshiba, leading to the CEO resigning, Toshiba stated that the Westinghouse nuclear business was more profitable than at acquisition in 2006.[17][18]

In December 2016, Toshiba said it expected to write down its investment in Westinghouse by US$2.5 billion,[19] adding that it was possible that their investment in Westinghouse could ultimately have a negative worth, due to cost overruns at U.S. nuclear reactors it was building.[20] In February 2017, Toshiba revealed unaudited details of a 390 billion yen ($3.4 billion) loss, mainly in its US nuclear business which was written down by 712 billion yen ($6.3 billion). On 14 February 2017, Toshiba delayed filing financial results, and Toshiba chairman Shigenori Shiga, formerly chairman of Westinghouse, resigned.[21][22][23] Toshiba considered selling the Westinghouse nuclear business.[24]

2017 Chapter 11 bankruptcy[edit]

See also: The scandal in South Carolina politics following the termination of the two AP1000 units.

On 29 March 2017, Toshiba's Westinghouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing a yearly loss for Toshiba that could exceed $9 billion, almost three times its previous estimate.[25][26] The Wall Street Journal reported that four nuclear reactors being built in the southeastern U.S. would be left to an unknown fate.[27] In July, 2017, the co-owners of the V.C. Summer plant announced that the project was terminated.[28] On September 24, 2017, the Post & Courier reported that Westinghouse had hired unlicensed workers to create mechanical and electrical blueprints for the V.C. Summer expansion without having a professional engineer sign off on them which was in violation of state law.[29] The blueprints were often faulty and led to significant delays.[30] The U.S. government had given $8.3 billion of loan guarantees on the financing of the four nuclear reactors being built in the U.S.[26]

Besides the issues with the AP1000 design, the fuel manufacturing division has been profitable, but not enough to cover corporate overheads and support the other divisions. Research and development investment in fuel manufacturing has been low, which has impacted the quality and comparative performance of its fuel compared to competitors.[31]

2018 sale to Brookfield Business Partners[edit]

On 6 April 2018, Toshiba announced the completion of the sale of Westinghouse's holding company to Brookfield Business Partners and some partners for $4.6bn.[4]

Association with ViacomCBS[edit]

Further information: Westinghouse Licensing Corporation

Although no longer associated with CBS Corporation (now ViacomCBS), Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, as of 2011, still uses the trademarks owned by Westinghouse Electric Corporation,[48] ViacomCBS' brand management subsidiary, under license, as is the case with other Westinghouse licensees.

Products and services[edit]

Westinghouse Electric Company supply all key components and services for the whole cycle of nuclear power, from the earlier stages (shortly after uranium mining), like nuclear fuel manufacturing, to the latest ones, like nuclear decommissioning and spent fuel processing. Westinghouse is a reactor manufacturer itself, and Westinghouse technology (components and services) is present in nuclear reactors from any supplier and global footprint: in nuclear plants, nuclear marine propulsion, microreactors...

AP1000 reactor[edit]

Main article: AP1000

Westinghouse, and its legacy companies, developed different pressurized water reactors, like System 80 and AP600, that laid the groundwork for the current AP1000 design, the first Generation III+ reactor to receive final design approval from the NRC in 2004.[49]

Four AP1000 reactors were constructed in China, at Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant in Zhejiang, and Haiyang Nuclear Power Plant in Shandong [50]. The Sanmen unit 1 and unit 2 AP1000s were connected to the grid on July 2, 2018, and August 24, 2018, respectively[51]. Haiyang 1 started commercial operation on October 22, 2018[52], Haiyang 2 on January 9, 2019[53].

As of January 2009, six AP1000 plants had been ordered in the US, and several other customers had chosen the AP1000, if they were to build new nuclear plants, for a combined total of at least 14 new plants, announced by the NuStart Consortium, Duke Power, Progress Energy, Southern Nuclear and SCE&G.[54] In May 2011 after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, US government regulators found problems with the design of the shield building of the new reactors. Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission since 2005 said that computations submitted by Westinghouse about the building's design appeared to be wrong and "had led to more questions." He said the company had not used a range of possible temperatures for calculating potential seismic stresses on the shield building in the event of an earthquake, for example. The NRC asked Westinghouse not only to fix its calculations, but also to explain why it submitted flawed information in the first place. Westinghouse countered that the "confirmatory items" that the commission was asking for were not "safety significant."[55]

In November 2011, the AP1000 Oversight Group published a report highlighting six areas of major concern and un-reviewed safety questions requiring immediate technical review by the NRC. The report concluded that certification of the AP1000 should be delayed until the original and current "unanswered safety questions" raised by the AP1000 Oversight Group are resolved.[56]

In December 2011, the UK's Office for Nuclear Regulation published a design assessment report on the AP1000 reactor which highlighted 51 'Generic Design Assessment' issues remaining that must be addressed before the assessment would be completed.[57]

In October 2013, US energy secretary Ernest Moniz announced that China was to supply components to the US nuclear power plants under construction as part of a bilateral co-operation agreement between the two countries. Since China's State Nuclear Power Technology Co (SNPTC) acquired Westinghouses's AP1000 technology in 2006, it has developed a manufacturing supply chain capable of supplying international power projects.[58] Industry analysts have pointed out that there are gaps in the Chinese supply chain.[59]

As of 2022, Westinghouse provides the development, licensing, detailed engineering, project management, component manufacturing and startup support for new nuclear power plants based on AP1000.

Other reactors[edit]

Based on the main AP1000 design, Westinghouse manufactures smaller reactors that may be used apart of nuclear power plants.

This is the case of Westinghouse SMR, integral pressurized water reactor with all primary components located inside the reactor vessel that reduces the number of components required compared to AP1000. The facility hosting a Westinghouse SMR usually occupies around 60 km2 and delivers 225 MWe.[60]

Another case is eVinci™ Micro-Reactor, still under development, a very small modular reactor for decentralized remote applications. The reactor and everything needed to operate (fuel and equipment) can be transported in standard transportation vehicles and containers. It could be installed on site in one month and delivers combined heat and power – 1 MWe to 5 MWe. [61]
