AM's Role in the Nuclear Industry with Westinghouse's Adam Travis
Manage episode 427984067 series 2832374
The nuclear industry is an underestimated technology that has a substantial impact on daily life. With an uptime average of ninety-three percent, nuclear power plants in the U.S. are three times more reliable than low-carbon technologies. Plus, that reliability makes the technology a smart choice to use as a backbone for future grids.
To gain a wider understanding of nuclear power and the future role of additive manufacturing (AM) in it, Host Fabian Alefeld speaks with the Global AM Program Leader of Westinghouse Nuclear, Adam Travis. Along with other achievements in the AM space, Adam and Westinghouse recently celebrated the printing of their 1000th fuel flow plate for use in the nuclear industry. Adam shares Westinghouse’s AM journey and provides a glimpse into what is next for Westinghouse in the realm of nuclear power.
