 Champion- Mark Fecteau, Managing Director, Global Growth and Innovation, Westinghouse
The Carolina’s are a hub of nuclear expertise, supplying more than 11% of the nation’s nuclear power production, and we can build on that tradition. As the need for electricity increases, our solid energy expertise can provide the Carolinas with environmentally-friendly, safe and plentiful power. In fact, talented Carolinians can help develop energy infrastructure around the globe. New Carolina has created a consortium of industry, higher education and nonprofit organizations working in unison to support our energy and economic development – The Carolinas Nuclear Cluster.
VISION: The people, services and products in the Carolinas' Nuclear Collaborative fortify our states' economy, create environmentally-friendly electricity, contribute to our energy independence and are the world's center of nuclear energy excellence. MISSION: The Carolinas' Nuclear Cluster collaboratively strengthens workforce, services, products and policies to capture and extend our global leadership in nuclear energy capabilities.
