  2. Who is NuScale Power? • NuScale Power was formed in 2007 for the sole purpose of completing the design and commercializing a small modular reactor (SMR) – the NuScale Power Module™. • Initial concept had been in development and testing since the 2000 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) MASLWR program. • Fluor, global engineering and construction company, became lead investor in 2011. • In 2013, NuScale won $226M in matching funds in a competitive U.S. DOE Funding Opportunity. • >400 patents granted or pending in 20 countries. • >800 people have worked on the project with 6 offices in U.S. and 1 office in London. • Additional DOE cost-share awards of $47M in 2018. • ~$800M invested in Design development and licensing by end of 2018 NuScale Engineering Offices Corvallis One-third scale NIST-1 Test Facility NuScale Control Room Simulator

  3. First SMR to Undergo Licensing in the U.S. • Design Certification Application (DCA) completed in December 2016 • Docketed and review commenced by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in March 2017 • Most rigorous review Phase was completed ahead of schedule • On track for be approved in September 2020 • DCA Statistics • 12,000+ pages • 14 Topical Reports • >2 million labor hours • >800 people • >50 supplier/partners • Over $500M

  4. First Deployment: UAMPS CFPP • Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) will be first deployment • A 12-module plant (720 MWe) with commercial operation in 2026 • Preferred location within the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site • DOE awarded $16.5 million in matching funds to perform site selection, secure site and water, and prepare combined operating license application to NRC

  5. Core Technology: NuScale Power Module • A NuScale Power Module™ (NPM) includes the reactor vessel, steam generators, pressurizer, and containment in an integral package – simple design that eliminates reactor coolant pumps, large bore piping and other systems and components found in large conventional reactors. • Each module produces up to 60 MWe • small enough to be factory built for easy transport and installation • dedicated power conversion system for flexible, independent operation • incrementally added to match load growth – up to 12 modules for 720 MWe gross (684 MWe net) total output

  6. NuScale Micro-Reactor Evaluation NuScale is currently evaluating the commercial feasibility of a micro-reactor concept for a variety of terrestrial applications. Commercial Feasibility Through: Terrestrial Applications Need for medium to long-term, reliable power Mining operations Industrial facilities Remote communities DOD facilities Short-term applications Disaster relief (portable power) Critical need facilities • Resilience and affordability • Power/heat for remote locations without grid access • Availability (vs. renewables) • Viable alternative to diesel • High power-to-mass ratio

  7. Evaluation of Non-LWR Micro-Reactors NuScale is also evaluating a range of options for smaller non-LWR micro-reactors with potential for both terrestrial and space applications. Terrestrial and Space Synergies Similarities Among Requirements Use of high assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) High power-to-weight ratio for remote transportation High reliability and low maintenance Long mission times • Near-term terrestrial market demand • Intermediate step for space applications while market is developing • Shared technology development and design aspects • Aggressive cost targets drive cost reduction for space applications
