Westinghouse to Use Google Cloud AI Tools

Jul 17, 2025 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

Westinghouse Electric Company is teaming up with Google Cloud to use AI for the construction of nuclear reactors. Under the agreement with Google, Westinghouse will combine its existing HiVE and bertha nuclear AI solutions with Google Cloud technologies to help improve both the construction of new nuclear power plants, and its existing fleet.


“As the only fully licensed, construction-ready modular reactor available today, our AP1000 technology is the quickest way to add new sources of affordable and abundant nuclear energy to the US grid,” said Dan Sumner, Westinghouse's interim CEO. “By partnering with Google Cloud to enhance our HiVE and bertha technology, and backed by 75 years of our proprietary nuclear data, we can accelerate the deployment of new AP1000 units while implementing powerful AI technologies that will optimize the construction and operations of nuclear power plants.”

“This partnership with Westinghouse combines Google Cloud’s AI technologies and expertise with Westinghouse’s century-long expertise in nuclear innovation to chart a new path towards a smarter and safer future,” added Kyle Jessen, MD of commercial industries, Google Cloud. “Artificial intelligence is not merely a tool; it can give companies a critical competitive advantage. Westinghouse is demonstrating what’s possible.”
