A new microreactor, eVinci, developed by Westinghouse, has an amazing feature. It can function without water, paving the way for nuclear power to reach far-off locations where water might be scarce. The first such microreactor will come up in Saskatchewan, Canada, by the end of this decade.
Unlike nuclear power plants, which often take years to build and become operational, microreactors offer a rapid way to transport and set up a power plant using nuclear fuel. As the name suggests, a microreactor is small enough to fit a transport truck or aircraft and can be quickly moved to a place in need of electricity.
