Abstract
With the ever-growing demand for clean and reliable energy, safe and innovative nuclear power generation is a necessity. Westinghouse Electric Company has an expanding portfolio of nuclear solutions to meet global energy challenges today and into the future. This talk introduces the Westinghouse technologies designed to meet these needs. Specific focus on the eVinci microreactor, its key enabling technologies, and pathway to commercialization. The extension of eVinci’s fundamental heat-pipe cooling technology, to enable exploration of space, is introduced. The AP300 SMR, Westinghouse’s latest offering, relies on proven and licensed technologies that provide a clear pathway to deployment, is discussed.
