Deploying Proven American Technology Will Boost U.S. Competitiveness and Create Tens of Thousands of Jobs

Washington, D.C., 26 March 2026 – Mammoet joined more than 40 Westinghouse Electric Company supply chain partners to meet with members of the U.S. Congress to share the benefits of building a U.S. fleet of AP1000® plants, the only advanced, grid-scale reactor that is commercially available today.

In meetings with the offices of Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, Mammoet shared the economic impact and manufacturing jobs it supports through the building of AP1000 units. By providing engineered heavy lifting and transport services to AP1000 projects, Mammoet sustains a workforce that will grow significantly alongside market demand, in Texas and the wider United States.

“Mammoet’s vast experience across the energy sectors, across the U.S. and worldwide, is directly deployable to the U.S. nuclear market”, said Rick Bohne, Commercial Director at Mammoet.

“Our vast fleet of equipment – including the world’s strongest land-based crane, the SK6000 – allows companies in the nuclear sector to build in the largest possible pieces, benefitting from modular construction methodologies that allow facilities to reach the first gigawatt faster”.

Fully licensed and construction-ready, the advanced AP1000 modular reactor is positioned to deliver on the Administration’s plan to build a fleet of large nuclear reactors. In addition, the AP1000 plant is the world’s most proven advanced reactor, including two units in commercial operation at Plant Vogtle that are setting industry records for performance.

“Work to deliver an AP1000 reactor can begin immediately, answering the Administration’s call for new gigawatt-scale nuclear while creating high-paying, highly skilled jobs across the country,” said Dan Sumner, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Westinghouse.

“Westinghouse and our experienced supply chain are prepared to start nuclear construction at scale in the United States, supporting tens of thousands of high-paying, highly skilled American jobs and delivering more than $92 billion in U.S. GDP. We appreciate the continued support of Congress on key policies that will support and enable nuclear construction in the United States.”

Mammoet and other Westinghouse suppliers outlined how a fleet of AP1000 plants will boost the competitiveness of the nation’s most energy intensive industries, such as artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing.

The proven AP1000 unit is the quickest way to add advanced nuclear generation to the grid to meet the rising demand from American homes and businesses. America’s supply chain, construction industry and labor unions are ready to deliver new nuclear now.
