Westinghouse Women in Nuclear, or W-WIN, is an association of Westinghouse Electric Company employees, focusing on women who are working to:
- promote an environment that supports leadership development of women in Westinghouse;
- establish a framework within Westinghouse and nuclear utilities through which women can further their professional development, to include but not limited to networking with customers in the industry and mentoring women; and
- promote public awareness about facts on nuclear energy and the nuclear industry and promote career interest in engineering and nuclear technologies.
Westinghouse employees in the United States and around the World are involved in Women in Nuclear.
