Westinghouse is planning to build ten large nuclear reactors in the US with construction starting by 2030. Westinghouse Interim CEO Dan Sumner laid out the plan to President Trump during a conference on energy and artificial intelligence at Carnegie Mellon University. Westinghouse’s AP1000 reactor generates enough electricity to power more than 750,000 homes. Only two nuclear reactors have been built in the US in the past 30 years, both in Georgia. Where the ten reactors will be built is unknown.

President Donald Trump and the leaders of the country's largest energy and technology companies are gathering at CMU for today's innovation and energy summit. US Senator Dave McCormick says investments are coming to Pennsylvania are up to 90-billion dollars. One possibility is a former steel mill site in Aliquippa. A local partnership hopes to transform it into a multi-billion dollar data processing center. Aliquippa Mayor Dwan Walker shared his vision with KDKA Radio's Rob Pratte. If the site is developed, it will create thousands of construction jobs, hundreds of permanent positions and generate tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue for Aliquippa.

President Donald Trump and US Senator Dave McCormick will use tomorrow's energy and innovation summit at Carnegie Mellon University to announce a massive investment in Pennsylvania. Senator McCormick told KDKA's Marty Griffin it's a 75-billion dollar investment and it's being made because the state is uniquely positioned. McCormick also said thousands of new jobs will be created for building and operating new data centers, new power generation and grid infrastructure along with AI training programs and apprenticeships.

Thomas Crooks left no manifesto or explanation for why he tried to kill the former and future president in Butler a year ago. But a CBS News investigation is shedding light on his secret double life. Before Thanksgiving 2023, Thomas Crooks' online life was fairly routine for a 20-year-old. But the just-released investigation shows a plan for mass violence was brewing, and for it to succeed, Crooks had to compartmentalize his life. CBS reports that in the summer of 2023, Crooks bought a rifle from his dad and signed up for a membership at a shooting range. He became a regular at Clairton Sportsmen's Club, signing in to the rifle range more than 40 times in the last 11 months of his life. In the month before July 13th, Crooks researched the presidential candidates online more than 60 times. He visited the Butler Farm Show grounds in person on July 7th and searched for Butler Farm Show photos. The probe shows Crooks was planning an assassination, all while pursuing a career in engineering.

Six Secret Service agents have been suspended without pay almost one year after the security failures that led to deadly gunfire during the Trump rally in Butler. Corey Comparatore was killed by a gunman on the roof of a nearby building and two other men were critically wounded. On the Big K Morning Show, Corey's sister, Kelly Meeder, shared her reaction on the timing of the suspensions.

Meeder also said it is unfair for the agents to return to their jobs when her brother will never come back. The special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh field office is one of the Secret Service employees being suspended and at least two agents are appealing.

Hopewell Police are alerting residents about suspicious incidents in which a man or men who appear to be of Middle Eastern or Hispanic ethnicity have recently shown up at churches. In one case, a man entered Ridge Point Church in Brighton, said he was from Israel and was looking for mosque to attend. At Genesis Church in Hopewell, a man was seen in the parking lot for a few minutes before driving away in a blue-gray Subaru Legacy with Ohio license plates. And at New Bethlehem Church in Independence, four men were seen driving by the church slowly, possibly taking pictures. Similar incidents have been reported near Air Force facilities at Pittsburgh International. Hopewell Police have increased patrols, asking anyone who sees suspicious behavior to call 911.

An unexpected memo went out to TSA officers across the country last week stating the new policy will allow all passengers to keep their shoes on in all screening lanes at many airports across the country, starting Sunday. Todd Curtis, an aviation safety consultant and creator of Air Safe dot com, says the US is one of the few countries that required it. The change is reportedly in effect at Baltimore/Washington, Fort Lauderdale, Cincinnati, Portland, Philadelphia, New York LaGuardia and LAX. We've reached out to Pittsburgh International for comment and are awaiting a response.

Reconstruction work shut down a major highway ramp this morning. The exit to Route 8 north from Route 28 south near Etna closed at 6am and will remain closed around the clock through July 31 while crews reconstruct the exit ramp. The official detour tells drivers to stay on Route 28 south, exit at Millvale and reenter Route 28 going north. The project is located between Baker Street and the 62nd Street Bridge and will include milling and resurfacing, retaining wall repairs, and the installation of a barrier to separate travel lanes from a future shared-use path. The work is part of a $9 million project in Pittsburgh, Etna and Shaler that started in August 2024. The project is expected to end late this year. Drivers can check conditions on major roadways online at 511pa.com.

The County has just shut down the bridge that carries Jacks Run Road over I-279 between Bellevue Road and Kane Lane in Ross.

That's after an inspection found corroded steel within the bridge's only pier. Allegheny County says it's closing the bridge until further notice out of an abundance of caution. About 46-hundred vehicles use the bridge each day. It was built in 1986.
