  • The eVinci™ microreactor recently achieved zero-power high-temperature criticality at 663°C, demonstrating the viability of the technology to support self-sustaining fission. Another test complete. Another step closer to delivering reliable, flexible nuclear energy solutions for emerging markets and real-world needs.

    THE HEAT IS ON: Westinghouse Electric Company just reached a key milestone for its eVinci microreactor. The advanced reactor prototype completed criticality testing earlier this month, reaching core temperatures upwards of 1,000°C as the company gathered valuable data on its performance. The transportable, heat-pipe-cooled reactor design runs on TRISO fuel and is designed to produce 5 megawatts of electricity on sites as small as two acres of land, providing resilient 24/7 energy for 8+ years without refueling. Data gathered from these experiments will help Westinghouse refine its design and increase certainty around the cost, manufacturability and schedule for eVinci, which was selected in August 2026 for the next phase of the Janus Program — the U.S. Department of the Army’s next-generation nuclear power initiative to power U.S. military installations with microreactors.

  • The World Nuclear Association (WNA) Symposium 2026, From Ambition to Action, took place last week in London, and Westinghouse leaders led important discussions throughout the conference. Attendees heard from Westinghouse’s new President of Global Operating Plants, Gaby Poirier, during his Fireside Chat with Neil Cooper from Great British Energy – Nuclear. Drawing on his industry experience, Gaby shared insight about his industry experience that he can bring to the nuclear industry and Westinghouse. We also attended Canada-UK Nuclear Day: From Ambition to Delivering - Building the Canada-UK Nuclear Partnership, where opening remarks were delivered by Michael Shanks MP, Minister of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). #westinghouse140 #NuclearSympo #Symposium2026 #NuclearEnergy

  • A defining moment for the next frontier of nuclear and for Westinghouse’s eVinci™ microreactor technology! On Sept. 3, the eVinci technology successfully completed zero-power, high-temperature criticality testing at 663°C, generating high-quality experimental data at temperatures representative of future operating conditions. This achievement helps validate key design assumptions, strengthens our analytical models and provides valuable insights that will guide future prototype development. “American innovation has always been the driving force behind American energy dominance,” said Chimi Zacot, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). “Westinghouse’s progress on the eVinci microreactor is another great example of that ingenuity at work.” Thank you to our partners at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Los Alamos National Laboratory, as well as the National Criticality Experiments Research Center, a National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) facility at Nevada National Security Sites, for helping make this achievement possible.

  • The future of nuclear energy is moving forward with momentum – from optimizing operations and expanding power capacity to deploying advanced reactors – and embracing innovation at every step. That momentum was on full display at NECX this week, where we joined more than 1,400 attendees from across the nuclear industry who came together to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping our path forward. The message was clear: the global demand for nuclear is growing, and the industry is ready to collaborate, innovate and rise to the challenge. Westinghouse was proud to be part of the conversation. Vice President of New Plant Project Development James Wyble, III and Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs Margaret Cosentino shared insights during plenary sessions on advanced reactor deployment and scaling technologies globally. Leaders Nathan Harsch, Susan Baier and Mike Drudy contributed as panelists in educational sessions focused on supply chain risk and compliance, extended power uprates and using technology to combat obsolescence. Thank you to Nuclear Energy Institute and American Nuclear Society for jointly hosting this valuable and energizing event! #NECX2026 #WestinghouseProud #NuclearInnovation #AdvancedReactors

  • Five years of Westinghouse in Poland. What a journey it has been! Since opening our doors in 2021, Westinghouse Poland has grown into a thriving team of nearly 500 professionals whose talent and dedication continue to drive our success. Over the past five years, we have built strong teams in Kraków, expanded our capabilities, supported projects across Poland and around the world and made meaningful contributions to the communities where we live and work. But our story is about more than growth. It is about being a part of Poland's nuclear energy future. From supporting the country's first nuclear power plant project to helping develop the expertise and capabilities needed for long-term energy security, our teams are contributing to a transformational journey that will have a lasting impact for generations to come. As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud of everything we have achieved together and grateful to our employees, customers and partners who have been part of the journey. Here’s to the first five years and to the many years and opportunities ahead! #WestinghousePoland #WestinghousePoland5Years
