Westinghouse, Eastern Europe

Posted: 9th February 2022

Where the Russians are coming, so is Westinghouse with its nuclear

ambitions. Over the past few months, Joel Eaker, Westinghouse Electric
Co.’s vice president for new nuclear power plant projects, has been
shaking hands and posing for pictures all over Eastern Europe. He was in
Poland last month, where he plans to move in the spring. A week before
that, he was in the Czech Republic to announce agreements signed with local
companies in Cranberry-based Westinghouse’s bid to sell its AP1000
reactors in the region. The nuclear renaissance never happened in the
United States. But Mr. Eaker thinks Europe is headed in that direction. The
continent is grappling with its approach to two threats: climate change and
Russia’s grip as an energy provider. A military buildup on Ukraine’s
borders has once again brought the intersection of energy and geopolitics
into sharp relief.
