Today, we celebrate the birthday of George Westinghouse, whose innovations transformed industries and continue to inspire progress around the world. 🎉
George's story began in Pittsburgh. Today his legacy spans the globe.
To honor his legacy, we took George back to where it all began for a tour of some of Pittsburgh's most iconic landmarks and attractions.
How many of these Pittsburgh landmarks do you recognize? 🖤💛
Featured locations and organizations include University of Pittsburgh (@PittTweet), @Pirates, @steelers, Heinz @HistoryCenter, Point State Park (@DCNRnews), Duquesne Incline (@DowntownPitt), and a Mr. Rogers statue (@wqed).

A major milestone for Europe and the ITER fusion reactor: The fifth and final Vacuum Vessel sector for the massive experimental reactor built on the continent has arrived at the site in Cadarache, France.
Drawing on 16 years of experience across four previous sectors, our teams refined complex assembly and machining processes to complete this first-of-a-kind, 500-tonne component. Through thousands of intricate manufacturing tasks, they demonstrated ingenuity, craftsmanship and technical excellence.
The sector will join eight others to form the heart of the world’s largest fusion device, while expanding technical knowledge, specialized skills and Europe’s industrial capabilities for future fusion technology.
Thank you to our teams and partners at @fusionforenergy, Ansaldo Nucleare, Walter Tosto S.p.A. and @iterorg for turning lessons learned into shared progress.

The Westinghouse Atom Smasher helps to tell the story of where nuclear innovation began. We're helping ensure that story continues.
Built in 1937, the former research facility just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, helped pioneer research that shaped the future of nuclear energy. Today, teams are carefully documenting, dismantling and preserving the iconic structure before it begins its next chapter.
Stay tuned as we bring the Atom Smasher back to life!

The eVinci™ microreactor recently achieved zero-power high-temperature criticality at 663°C, demonstrating the viability of the technology to support self-sustaining fission.
Another test complete. Another step closer to delivering reliable, flexible nuclear energy solutions for emerging markets and real-world needs.

THE HEAT IS ON: @WECNuclear successfully completed criticality testing for its eVinci microreactor, reaching core temperatures upwards of 1,000°C as the company gathered valuable data on its performance.
Their transportable, heat-pipe-cooled reactor design runs on TRISO fuel and is designed to produce 5 megawatts of electricity on sites as small as two acres of land.

A defining moment for the next frontier of nuclear and for Westinghouse’s eVinci™ microreactor technology!
On Sept. 3, the eVinci technology successfully completed zero-power, high-temperature criticality testing at 663°C, generating high-quality experimental data at temperatures representative of future operating conditions. This achievement helps validate key design assumptions, strengthens our analytical models and provides valuable insights that will guide future prototype development.
“American innovation has always been the driving force behind American energy dominance,” said Chimi Zacot, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of @ENERGY (DOE). “Westinghouse’s progress on the eVinci microreactor is another great example of that ingenuity at work.”
Thank you to our partners at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and @LosAlamosNatLab as well as the National Criticality Experiments Research Center, a National Nuclear Security Administration (@NNSANews) facility at Nevada National Security Sites (@NNSANevada) for helping make this achievement possible.

Fast forward to today: Vogtle Unit 3 has been in full commercial operation for more than three years, helping deliver reliable, around-the-clock power to the state of Georgia.
As one of two AP1000® reactors at Plant Vogtle, Unit 3 showcases the advanced passive safety features that help keep power on and safety at the forefront. ⤵️
Throwback to 2020, when Vogtle Unit 3 looked like THIS.
This huge water tank, known as CB-20, stands 35 feet tall and weighs more than 720,000 pounds. It holds approximately 750,000 gallons of water to provide passive cooling for the reactor in the unlikely event of an emergency.
