The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is getting a multi-million dollar boost to help fund its microreactor project, which aims to provide heat and power to remote communities and industries.
The Saskatchewan Government has made an $80 million commitment to the SRC to help get through the “highly complex” licensing and regulatory requirements for operating the microreactor.
“Microreactors provide a custom solution for Saskatchewan’s unique energy needs,” Premier Scott Moe said on Monday.
“What we learn through this project will prepare SRC to assist communities and industries in future projects,” he said.
Crabtree said the eVinci differs from a small modular reactor. He said a microreactor generates less than 20 megawatts of power, while small modular reactors would generate about 300 megawatts of power.
He said the eVinci microreactor can generate five megawatts of power, 13 megawatts of heat, or run on a combined heat and power mode.
