Springfields (Westinghouse UK)

Westinghouse’s Springfields site has been manufacturing world class nuclear fuel, and related products, for almost 75 years. The 80 hectare site is today one of the most advanced nuclear fuel generating facilities in the world, with its Oxide Fuels Complex being the UK’s only commercial fuel fabrication facility. Utilising advanced manufacturing processes, the Springfields site produces around 32% of all the low-carbon electricity generated in the UK.

Springfields, is recognised as a world leader in safety, quality, environmental, and technological standards. Springfields has excellent infrastructure and connectivity. In 2023, the UK government awarded Westinghouse Electric Company three grants totalling £10.5m to upgrade and expand the Springfields facility to support the country’s development and deployment of next generation nuclear reactors. Further support from Government is required to ensure the continued success of the site.
