..."My visit came on the heels of Westinghouse’s $7.9 billion sale to Cameco and Brookfield Renewable Partners. The transaction, expected to be finalized in 2023, would bring Westinghouse’s reactors under Cameco, one of the world’s largest suppliers of uranium fuel; and Brookfield Renewable, one of the world’s largest clean energy investors.
“The acquisition reaffirms the important role Westinghouse and nuclear technology will play in the global clean energy transition and in helping the U.S. and other countries meet energy security goals,” said a Westinghouse spokesperson in a statement.
Westinghouse has invested time and effort into eVinci, a heat pipe reactor the company describes as more of a nuclear battery. The company touts the microreactor’s solid core and advanced heat pipes, which enable passive cooling and also allow for autonomous operation and load following.
The microreactor can generate 5 MW of electricity or 13 MW of heat from a 15 MW thermal core. Exhaust heat from the power conversion system can be used for district heating applications or low-temperature steam. eVinci could also be used in hydrogen production, maritime or industrial heat applications.
Westinghouse looks to off-grid applications like remote communities and mine sites as the entry market for eVinci. But the microreactor could also serve industrial sites or data centers. In remote locations, it could replace diesel as a power generating fuel, which is expensive to transport often hundreds of miles."....
