eVinci™ Microreactor: Pioneering Clean Energy Solutions for Mining Operations

Introduction to eVinci™ Microreactor

The eVinci™ Microreactor by Westinghouse is a pioneering solution that offers resilient, emission-free baseload power and heat for mining operations. Leveraging innovative design that integrates cutting-edge technology with over 60 years of proven commercial nuclear expertise, the eVinci™ Microreactor ensures cost-competitive, reliable, and zero-emission energy generation with minimal maintenance requirements. Its compact size enables easy transportability and rapid on-site deployment, making it an ideal choice for remote mining sites.

Key Benefits of eVinci™ Microreactor

The eVinci™ Microreactor offers a plethora of benefits, including reliable energy production in diverse weather conditions and locations, immediate load-following and load-shed capabilities, and the flexibility to scale up or down based on the mining operation's needs. By eliminating the reliance on diesel fuel and overcoming transportation challenges to remote areas, the eVinci™ Microreactor ensures uninterrupted energy supply. Additionally, its above-ground installation requires minimal ground disruption, occupying less than a 2-acre footprint. The seamless integration with renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro further enhances its sustainability credentials.

Environmental and Safety Features

In addition to its operational benefits, the eVinci™ Microreactor brings substantial environmental advantages by delivering completely emissions-free baseload power for over 8 years. With above-ground installation that eliminates the need for water cooling, the eVinci™ Microreactor minimizes its environmental impact. The spent fuel is either returned to the manufacturer or stored in long-term storage facilities, ensuring safe and efficient waste management. Each eVinci™ Microreactor has the potential to reduce up to 55,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation efforts.

Utilization of Low-Grade Heat

One of the unique features of the eVinci™ Microreactor is its ability to generate 'free' low-grade heat at 150°C. This excess heat can be effectively utilized for district heating of community infrastructure or used for pre-heating mine ventilation systems, demonstrating the reactor's versatility and efficiency in resource utilization.
