Wedoany.com Report-Aug. 25, Fermi America and Westinghouse Electric Company are collaborating to license four AP1000 reactors at the Amarillo hyperscale campus in Texas. The partnership involves completing the Combined Operating License Application, submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on June 17, 2025, and aiding its review.

Currently, six AP1000 reactors are operational worldwide.

Fermi America co-founder Toby Neugebauer stated: “Westinghouse sees what we see: being co-located with Pantex — which is overseen by the Department of Energy and has stewarded America’s nuclear arsenal since 1951, in a region known for its skilled, hard-working energy labour force who all share the same Friday Night Lights football district, make us a premier place to build safe, new nuclear power.”

Westinghouse’s Dan Lipman stated: “As the only fully licensed, construction-ready advanced modular reactor available today, the AP1000 technology is ready to deliver the power needed to unlock the full potential of next-generation artificial intelligence.”

The AP1000 features advanced safety systems and modular design. Six units operate globally, with 14 under construction and five contracted. The technology is considered in Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Europe, the UK, and North America. Westinghouse recently signed agreements for Bulgaria’s Kozloduy plant and with Fortum for a potential AP1000 deployment.
