Westinghouse Electric Company LLC is an American nuclear power company formed in 1999 from the nuclear power division of the original Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The original company was founded in 1886 by George Westinghouse and played a pivotal role in developing alternating current (AC) electrical systems. Historically based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the original corporation diversified into multiple sectors including broadcasting (acquiring CBS) before undergoing significant restructuring. The nuclear division was sold to British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL) in 1999 and re-established as Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, which now focuses on providing nuclear products and services to utilities worldwide, including nuclear fuel production, plant maintenance, instrumentation, controls, and nuclear power plant design. Headquartered in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania (a Pittsburgh suburb), the company operates internationally in the energy sector.
