Regulation & Market Complexities Federal Power Act 1935 Regional Transmission Markets California Independent System Operator (CAISO) Mountain West Transmission Group (SPP West)

Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) Reliability Ramp Rate

Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act 1978 (PURPA) Integrated Resource Plans (IRP) Low priced renewable energy projects

5

Regulation & Market Complexities Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPC ‘05) Exempted hydraulic fracturing from Clean Water Act Clean coal initiative Tax credits for wind, solar, energy efficiency and

nuclear Public electric utilities must offer net metering DOE loan guarantees Extended daylight savings time by five weeks Set electric grid reliability standards

7

Regulation & Market Complexities Load growth Energy efficiency Distributed generation Replacement capacity Future power market

8

Why the CFPP NuScale technology Cost competitive Reduced exposure to environmental regulations Modular generation additions Small footprint on the land

Phased development approach provides UAMPS the ability to gain clarity on regulation and market complexities and the cost of compliance costs --compared to the costs relative to proceeding with the CFPP

9

Why the CFPP (cont) Cost competitiveness provides UAMPS with: Option as to carbon regulation in the future Fuel stability Stable regulatory environment

Multiple generation fits well into future market structures EIM participation Fast ramp rate Integration of variable resources

10

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

safety relief valves

• 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

18

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

• 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
