The Westinghouse eVinci™ microreactor team recently hosted representatives from the Saskatchewan First Nation Natural Resource Center of Excellence (SFNNRCOE) at the eVinci Technology Hub in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

SFNNRCOE supports the 74 First Nation communities in Saskatchewan to create opportunities for innovative, sustainable and environmentally responsible development of natural resources within their lands and Indigenous territories. The group visited our facility to learn more about the eVinci microreactor as a clean, reliable source of power for remote Indigenous communities in Saskatchewan as well as economic development and jobs.

The visitors, led by Sheldon Wuttunee, CEO of SFNNRCOE, were joined by Westinghouse Chief Commercial Officer Jacques Besnainou, who spoke about Westinghouse’s history and our AP1000® reactor, AP300™ SMR and eVinci technologies.

Canada Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne visited Westinghouse January 15 to receive an update on the progress our Canada eVinci™ microreactor team has made since receiving federal funding in March 2022.
