What happened

Westinghouse Electric Company is expanding its operations at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility in Richland County, South Carolina, with a $1 billion investment. This expansion will construct one of the most advanced nuclear fuel factories in the U.S, designed to significantly boost LEU+ fuel production. LEU+ fuel increases reactor power output and lowers production costs by reducing refueling time.
