Westinghouse and Amentum expand cooperation on AP1000 and AP300 reactors offered in Czech market

Westinghouse has concluded a series of agreements with engineering company Amentum aimed at strengthening capacity for the construction of a larger number of AP1000 units while supporting the development of the AP300 small modular reactor. The latest part of the cooperation focuses primarily on preparing its certification in the United States.

The agreements are to expand the two companies’ cooperation in two key areas. Amentum is to strengthen Westinghouse’s engineering and delivery capacity for the preparation and construction of multiple AP1000 units, while for the AP300 small modular reactor it is to contribute to preparing documentation for its certification by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

The AP300 is currently in pre-application discussions with the NRC, which precede the submission of an application for standard design certification under 10 CFR Part 52. The announcement does not state the financial value of the agreements or the specific scale of staffing involvement.
