US-based nuclear equipment manufacturer Westinghouse Electric Company has begun a vendor design review (VDR) process with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for its eVinci microreactor technology.
The VDR is a voluntary technical assessment phase preceding the start of the actual licensing process in Canada.
Westinghouse said it is planning to execute phases one and two of the VDR as a combined programme that will show “eVinci microreactor’s design and technology maturity”.
