The Westinghouse  (0.31 MB)

Westinghouse Electric Company today announced that it has filed a request to suspend the procurement of six replacement steam generators and associated work by Eskom to the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg. Through this proceeding, Westinghouse requires the Court to urgently suspend the execution of the contract for this project, and to order Eskom to provide Westinghouse with the relevant documentation supporting the Eskom decision on August 15 to reject the Westinghouse offer and award a contract to Areva for this project.

Westinghouse has been active in South Africa's nuclear industry, mainly through support to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, since the 1990s and is at the origin of nuclear fleet technology in South Africa - its two reactors are Westinghouse-licensed. Westinghouse’s main localization drive started in 2007 when it acquired IST Nuclear (Pty) Ltd, now operating as Westinghouse Electric South Africa (Pty) Ltd. From offices in Cape Town and Centurion, Westinghouse supports Eskom’s Koeberg facilities, Necsa and other local nuclear industry partners.

Westinghouse Electric Company is the world's pioneering nuclear energy company and is a leading supplier of nuclear plant products and technologies to utilities throughout the world. Westinghouse supplied the world's first pressurized water reactor in 1957 in Shippingport, Pa., U.S. Today, Westinghouse technology is the basis for approximately one-half of the world's operating nuclear plants, including more than 50 percent of those in Europe.
