Westinghouse eVinci™ Microreactor Selected for Malmstrom Air Force Base

Project Seeks to Deploy Technology for U.S. Department of the Air Force and Defense Innovation Unit through Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations Program

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westinghouse Government Services announces that the eVinci™ microreactor has been proposed for Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB) by the Department of the Air Force, in conjunction with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), through the Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations (ANPI) program.

This is the next step in the ongoing contract between Westinghouse Government Services and the Department of the Air Force and DIU for the proposed deployment of a contractor-owned and operated nuclear microreactor on a Department of the Air Force installation. Under the ANPI agreement, Westinghouse and its deployment partners will evaluate siting and construction of an eVinci microreactor at Malmstrom AFB.

“Westinghouse’s eVinci microreactor is perfectly suited to ensure our Armed Forces have the reliable and resilient energy they need for mission-critical operations globally,” said Rich Rademacher, President, Westinghouse Government Services. “We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with the Department of the Air Force and the Defense Innovation Unit.”

The eVinci microreactor builds on decades of industry-leading Westinghouse innovation to deliver flexible, portable and resilient energy to remote locations for a variety of defense applications. The highly reliable eVinci microreactor has very few moving parts and provides 5 megawatts of electricity, delivered 24 hours a day, seven days a week for eight-plus years without refueling. The technology is designed to be factory-built and assembled before it is shipped.

Westinghouse Electric Company is the future of energy, providing reliable, innovative nuclear technologies and services globally. Westinghouse pioneered commercial nuclear power, delivering the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor in 1957. The company has industrialized more nuclear reactors than any other company, with its technology forming the basis of half of the world's operating nuclear plants. More than 140 years of innovation makes Westinghouse the preferred partner for advanced technologies covering the complete nuclear energy life cycle.
