Westinghouse has a long history of operations in South Carolina – dating back to the 1969 opening of the Westinghouse Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) in Hopkins, just outside of Columbia. Today, CFFF is the largest for-profit fuel production operation of its kind in the world.
Westinghouse has several locations across the globe equipped to manufacture and deliver world-class fuel solutions to our customers. Each site has a rich history and unique abilities to provide utilities with the advanced performance that you expect from Westinghouse fuel.
The Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) manufactures fuel assemblies and components for commercial nuclear power plants and federal partners. CFFF operates under a Nuclear Regulatory Commission License, SNM-1107, which grants the licensee the authority to manufacture nuclear products. The fuel fabrication process involves the chemical conversion of uranium hexafluoride (DU6) to uranium dioxide (UO2) using the ammonium diuranate (ADU) process.
