Today is Earth Day, a day calling for action against the global climate emergency, with the theme of “Restore our Earth.” This restoration of our planet is critical in order to stop global warming. The way we produce and use energy is one of the keys to achieve this goal. It is inspiring to see how humankind has learned how to harness natural forces from the wind and sun in order to keep vehicles moving and industry functioning, avoiding tons of carbon emissions.

Last week, Westinghouse had the opportunity to participate in The Advanced Reactors Summit, hosted virtually by the United States Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC). A number of Westinghouse experts had the opportunity to share our commitment to carbon-free energy and the potential that exists for advanced reactors.

October 9, 2020 – Bruce Power and Westinghouse Electric Company today announced an agreement to pursue applications of Westinghouse’s leading eVinci™ micro reactor program within Canada, to provide a reliable source of carbon-free energy. The agreement supports efforts by the federal and provincial governments to study applications for nuclear technology to reach their goal of a Net Zero Canada by 2050.
