Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility

Westinghouse Electric Company is a leading global supplier of safe, innovative, and reliable nuclear technology.

For nearly 60 years the Westinghouse Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) has been a vital player in the energy industry. Launched in 1968, the (CFFF), produces nuclear fuel used to generate 10% of the electricity in the United States.

Located in Hopkins, South Carolina just outside the state capital city of Columbia, the CFFF is one of the largest facilities of its kind in the world. The local Westinghouse team supports onsite fuel manufacturing facilities, product engineering and advanced testing laboratories, as well as fuel marketing and contract administration. The 1,155-acre campus includes 550,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space.

From our beginning, when the first fuel components were produced and shipped from CFFF, we have created a legacy of quality performance and products. Westinghouse remains committed to delivering high-quality nuclear fuel solutions while meeting the highest standards of safety, environmental stewardship, and community transparency.

At the same time, we are driven to be active, supporting members of our local community. We have a long history of giving back to the Lower Richland County Community. For example, in 2025, the CFFF donated more than $50,000 to the local school district where many of our employees attended school and now their children are now students. Our local team also actively participates in community organizations and events.
