The fatal flaw of the Westinghouse Electric Company eVinci microreactor isn’t its costly fuel, it’s the back end logistics

- Dr. Kris Keefer - July 29, 2025 - Op-Ed

EXCERPT: "Yes, the eVinci reactor is an elegant piece of engineering. Yes, heat pipe tech & solid-core TRISO fuel are promising. But all that collapses under the weight of a single question:

How do you get it out once its full of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel?

Until someone can answer that, remote land based microreactors are a tech demo, not a solution. . . . . "
