What is a NuScale Power Module?
Each NPM is installed below-grade in a seismically robust, steel-lined, concrete pool
NPMs can be incrementally added to match load growth - up to 12 NPMs for 600 MWe gross (~570 net) total output
A NuScale Power Module (NPM) includes the reactor vessel, steam generators, pressurizer and containment in an integral package that eliminates reactor coolant pumps and large bore piping (no LB-LOCA)
Each NPM is 50 MWe and factory built for easy transport and installation
Each NPM has its own skid-mounted steam turbine-generator and condenser

• Each NuScale power module feeds one turbine generator train eliminating single-shaft risk
• 100% turbine bypass capability• Generator is totally enclosed water to air
cooled (no hydrogen cooling required)• Small, simple components support short,
simple refueling outages
17
Simplicity Enhances Safety
Natural Convection for Cooling Passively safe, driven by gravity, natural circulation
of water over the fuel No pumps, no need for emergency generators
Seismically Robust System submerged in a below-ground pool of water
in an earthquake resistant building Reactor pool attenuates ground motion and
dissipates energy Simple and Small
Reactor core is 1/20th the size of large reactor cores
Integrated reactor design, no large-break loss-of-coolant accidents
Defense-in-Depth Multiple additional barriers to protect against the
release of radiation to the environment
Steel containment has >10 times pressure rating than typical PWR
Water volume to thermal power ratio is four times larger than typical PWR
Reactor core has onlyfive percent of the fuelof a large reactor
160 MWt NuScale Power Module
All safety equipment needed to protect the core is shown on this picture

Triple Crown of Nuclear Safety
WATER COOLING BOILING AIR COOLING
Reactors cooled for an unlimited time without Operator Action, AC or DC Power, or additional water
* Based on testing and conservative calculations assuming all 12 modules in simultaneous upset conditions and reduced pool water inventory
19
Reducing Plant RiskRisk = (frequency of failure) X (consequences)
Probability of core damage due to NuScale reactor equipment failures is 1 in 100,000,000 years

NRC Licensing
UAMPS plans to submit a Combined Operating Licensing (COL) application in Q4 of 2018 or Q1 of 2019 39 month NRC review period NRC will compile an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
analyzing the impacts of constructing, operating, and decommissioning the CFPP on the human environment
Pre-COL Application submittal activities Site Characterization work for potential sites Pre-engagement work with NRC on licensing issues unique to
NuScale’s technology NRC license for on-site spent fuel storage generated by
CFPP NuScale Design Certification Application (DCA) Process by which NRC approves NPM technology 39 month review period
28
USE Agreement UAMPS and DOE has entered into a use agreement
February 2016 Use agreement will serve as the vehicle to allow UAMPS to
explore certain sites at INL Final site for CFPP would not be designated in the use permit
until after NRC NEPA is complete NEPA strategy—DOE conditionally agrees to the future actions
pending NRC completing its permitting process Other Provisions
Site Access Security Plan Emergency Planning Licensee Control of CFPP Facility Fuel Transport Spent Fuel Storage—on site storage covered under NRC COL issued
to CFPP Decommissioning DOE Orders
29
Why INL Site? Community Experience and knowledge of nuclear development Experience workforce

• NuScale includes unique capabilities for following electric load requirements as they vary with customer demand and rapid output variations from renewables: NuFollow™
• There are three means to change power output from a NuScale facility:– Dispatchable modules – taking one or more reactors offline for
extended periods of low grid demand or sustained wind output– Power Maneuverability – adjusting
reactor power for one or more modules (intermediate time frames)
– Turbine Bypass – bypassing turbine steam to the condenser (short timeframes)
• Explored integration with Horse Butte wind farm in Idaho
• Partnered with Utah Associated MunicipalPower Systems and Energy Northwest
