Resilient, emission-free baseload power and heat
The eVinci™ Microreactor's innovative design combines new technology advancements with 60+ years of commercial nuclear design and engineering, creating a cost-competitive and resilient source of zero-emissions power and heat with superior reliability and minimal maintenance. Its small size allows for transportability and rapid, on-site deployment. eVinci can produce 5MWe with a 13MWth core design. The reactor core is designed to run for eight or more years at full power before refueling.
