Westinghouse plans to build 10 large nuclear reactors in U.S. interim CEO Sumner says

Westinghouse plans to build 10 large nuclear reactors in the U.S. beginning in 2030, driving $75B of economic value across the U.S. and $6B in Pennsylvania, interim CEO Dan Sumner told President Trump on Tuesday, according to CNBC.

Sumner described the plan during a conference on energy and artificial intelligence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where more than $90B of investment in data centers and power infrastructure were announced, according to the office of U.S. Senator McCormick, who organized the event.

The U.S. has built only two new nuclear reactors in the past 30 years, both of which were Westinghouse AP1000s at Plant Vogtle in Georgia; the project came in $18B over budget and seven years behind schedule, contributing to the bankruptcy of Westinghouse, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2018 and is now owned 51% by Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) and 49% by uranium miner Cameco (NYSE: CCJ).

Earlier on Tuesday, Westinghouse unveiled a partnership with Google ( GOOG) ( GOOGL) to use artificial intelligence tools to transform the construction of the company's advanced nuclear reactors into "an efficient, repeatable process."

The two companies said they will pair Westinghouse's HiVE and bertha nuclear AI solutions with Google Cloud technologies and expertise to streamline construction of new nuclear plants, while also using AI tools to improve the current nuclear fleet with data-driven AI insights.
