LEU+ Field Engineer Major Equipment at Westinghouse Electric Hopkins, SC

Location:

Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) in Hopkins, SC 29061, working 100% onsite.

Westinghouse is the largest nuclear fuel manufacturer in the USA producing fuel that provides 10% of the nation's electricity. We are currently developing the next stage of nuclear fuel production capabilities with construction of the Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU+) fuel fabrication facility in Hopkins, South Carolina, within our Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF). This advanced fuel production plant will employ the latest technology in uranium fuel production using up to 8% enriched 235U.

The technology to be employed will include Westinghouse’s patented Two Step Dry UF6 to UO2 powder deconversion process and microwave denitrification for converting liquid uranium waste to UO2 powder. The use of LEU+ fuel will extend the fuel cycle of the commercial nuclear fleet from 18 to 24 months, while significantly improving the efficiency and safety of our nuclear fuel fabrication operations.

Westinghouse is dedicated to conducting our operations in a safe and environmentally sound, socially responsible manner. We seriously consider the impact of our actions on the environment and on the health and safety of our employees, subcontractors, customers and the public. Each Westinghouse employee, and any person working on behalf of Westinghouse, is responsible for supporting the commitments identified in our Integrated Quality, Environment, Health, and Safety Policy.
