2 Presentation Outline NuScale Part of the Global Energy, Environment, Water Solution How is NuScale progressing with NRC review? What has NuScale done to reduce FOAK risk? How is NuScale/Fluor incorporating lessons learned from Vogtle/Summer? How is NuScale working to close the cost gap? 2

3 The Global Reality An additional 197 quadrillion BTUs of energy are needed to lift 5.9 billion people out of energy poverty. Energy Information Agency 783 million people do not have access to clean water. More than 300 million people around the world rely on desalinated water for some of their daily needs. World Health Organization Courtesy R. Temple, NuScale Power More than 1 billion metric tons of food is lost or wasted each year - decaying in fields or farms before harvest or while it's being transported. World Resources Institute UNEP Outdoor air pollution contributes to the deaths of an estimated 1.6 million people in China every year, or about 4,400 people a day, Berkeley Courtesy Pew T.

4 CFPP Part of the Global Energy Solution NUSCALE MISSION - NuScale Power will provide scalable advanced nuclear technology for the production of electricity, heat, and water to improve the quality of life for people around the world. UAMPS/NuScale/INL Collaboration NuScale has completed 5 studies with partners on different applications of the NuScale Power Modules that relate to the mission of the company: Clean Water - Desalination Clean Transportation Fuel Hydrogen Production Clean Air - Reduction of Carbon Emissions at Oil Refineries Clean Energy - Facilitating Growth of Renewables Load Following Reliable Power Protecting Critical Infrastructure New applications provide opportunities for INL research and the potential for a CFPP power purchase agreement. 4

5 NuScale Diverse Energy Platform Oil Refineries Study - Reduction of Carbon Emissions (Fluor and NuScale) 10-Module Plant coupled to a 250,000 barrels/d refinery Eliminates 190 MT/hr of CO 2 Integration with Wind Study - Horse Butte Site (UAMPS, ENW and NuScale) 1-Module dedicated to UAMPS 57.6 MW wind farm Hydrogen Production Study High- Temperature Steam Electrolysis (INL and NuScale) 6-Module Plant for Emission Free Hydrogen Production of 190 MT/d of hydrogen Desalination Study Sized for the Carlsbad Site (Aquatech and NuScale) 8-Module Plant can produce 50 Mgal/d (190K m 3 /d) of clean water plus 350 MWe Reliable Power for Mission Critical Facilities (NuScale) 5

6 NuScale Desalination Study Considered all three leading desalination technologies Evaluated technical aspects of coupling with RO, MED and MSF plants Compared water production rates and economic efficiencies Reverse Osmosis (RO) Case Study using Carlsbad Plant Multi-Stage Flash Distillation Using steam extraction, one module produces 8-9 Mgal/d of pure water plus 30 MW of electricity Multi-Effect Distillation Using steam extraction, one module produces Mgal/d of pure water plus 30 MW of electricity

7 Case Study Parameters (8 Module Plant) Carlsbad Desalination Plant (CDP) 50 Mgal/d (190k m 3 /d) purified water output Provides water for ~300,000 people ( gal/d per person) Requires 48 MWe (6 kwh per m 3 ) Co-located with a fossil power station 8 Module NuScale Plant Fully meets electricity and thermal energy requirements of CDP Also provide electricity for same 300,000 people Carlsbad Desalination Plant (CA) Maintain fixed water production rate for thermal desalination options T

10 10 NRC Review of NuScale DCA

11 Reducing Licensing Risk - High Quality DCA Design Certification Application (DCA) completed at end of DCA accepted for docketing in March >800 people have worked on the project across 5 Offices in U.S. RAI process is in full implementation NRC has published its review schedule 12,000+ pages 14 Topical Reports >2 million labor hours >800 people >50 supplier/partners Over $500M 11

12 DCA Review At-A-Glance Review progressing well Phase 1 of review likely ahead of schedule 10 of 21 chapters completed Phase 1 in July Project 75% complete end of September Critical path chapter (safety analysis) current schedule end of year 4 months ahead of published schedule 10 Chapters now in Phase 2 of review No significant safety concerns have been identified Fewer questions than prior DCAs ~1,000 known Phase 1 question Estimate ~ 1,500 RAI questions by end of Phase 1 A concern is NRC staff appears to be making new interpretation/imposition of requirements 12

13 NuScale Meeting Commitments About 700 final questions received to-date Over 225 responses submitted NRC feedback is responses are high quality and address need About 10% forecast to require > 60 days NRC requested new analyses or tests, or more detailed design that, in general, NuScale believes goes beyond that necessary for DCA No impact on overall schedule so far 13

14 Design Certification Review Process Currently in Phase 1 Preliminary Safety Evaluation Report and RAIs Constitutes bulk of NRC technical review Most questions (requests for additional information [RAIs]) identified in this phase Almost all safety concerns will be identified in Phase 1 Phase 2 next Safety Evaluation Report with Open Items Review moves from Phase 1 to Phase 2 by chapter Public document that provides NRC staff s draft conclusions that design is acceptable Open items are generally confirmatory Phase 3 is ACRS review of Staff s SER with open items Informs Commission of any concern with design or staff s review Significant issues identified here infrequently Remainder of review, while not pro forma, is mostly processing of application. Identification of new safety issues is rare. 14

15 Top Review Successes Electrical design Approval in sight with draft SER on topical report DCA review (Chapter 8) going well Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems Typically critical path or near critical path on prior reviews Topical report approved DCA review (Chapter 7) going well Control room and licensed operators Approval in sight - alignment on approach in application and regulatory path forward Seismic/structural review (Ch 3) While many RAI questions, none yet challenge safety of design Current NuScale critical path to Phase 3 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (Ch 19) Audits completed very successful in this area Fewer RAIs than other applicants PRA group can help NuScale with remainder of NRC 15

16 NEI Press Release (September 7, 2017) TVA Demonstrates Site Boundary EPZ Possible for SMRs TVA analysis adds information on Clinch River early site permit application Shows any accident radiological impact would be limited to within site boundary Analysis provides basis for exemption from 10-mile EPZ in regulatory breakthrough 16
