The eVinci is a nuclear microreactor design currently under development by the Westinghouse Electric Company. A solid-state reactor, the eVinci has a passive primary cooling mechanism transferring heat using heat pipes. The design of the eVinci includes conversion of thermal energy to electricity using an open-air Brayton cycle engine. The system is intended to require no on-site personnel and to be capable of supplanting diesel generators.
