NuScale Power Small Modular Reactors The Future of Nuclear Energy South Australia Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission Mike McGough Chief Commercial Officer Adelaide, South Australia November 5th, 2015

What is a NuScale Power Module? 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 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 2

Size Comparison *Source: NRC 3

Coolant Flow Driven By Physics Convection – energy from the nuclear reaction heats the primary reactor coolant causing it to rise by convection and natural buoyancy through the riser, much like a chimney effect Conduction – heat is transferred through the walls of the tubes in the steam generator, heating the water (secondary coolant) inside them to turn it to steam. Primary water cools. Gravity – colder (denser) primary coolant “falls” to bottom of reactor pressure vessel, cycle continues 4

NuScale Safety Systems Systems and Components Needed to Protect the Core: Reactor Pressure Vessel Containment Vessel Reactor Coolant System Decay Heat Removal System Emergency Core Cooling System Control Rod Drive System Containment Isolation System Ultimate Heat Sink Residual Heat Removal System Safety Injection System Refueling Water Storage Tank Condensate Storage Tank Auxiliary Feedwater System Emergency Service Water System Hydrogen Recombiner or Ignition System Containment Spray System Reactor Coolant Pumps Safety Related Electrical Distribution Systems Alternative Off-site Power Emergency Diesel Generators Safety Related 1E Battery System Anticipated Transient without Scram (ATWS) System 7

NuScale Announces Major Safety Breakthrough Wall Street Journal April 16, 2013 NuScale design has achieved the “Triple Crown” for nuclear plant safety. The plant can safely shut-down and self-cool, indefinitely, with: No Operator Action No AC or DC Power No Additional Water Safety valves align in their safest configuration on loss of all plant power. Details of the Alternate System Fail-safe concept were presented to the NRC in December 2012. 8

Construction Cost Summary Overall EPC Overnight Plant Costs ($1,000,000) 5078 $/kWe net $ 5,078 per kWe net Note: Delivered costs shown are in 2014 $’s.

NuScale Levelized Cost of Electricity Estimates (LCOE) NuScale LCOE results of $98-$108/MWhr (2015 $’s) Key Assumptions: Financing is 55% debt (@5.5%) and 45% equity (@10.0%). Modeled as a 40 year project life, but the plant is designed for 60 years Excludes owner’s costs such as: HR and management infrastructure, central office COLA, permits, NRC and ITAAC inspections, and legal fees Switchyard Owner's project development costs Owner's engineering services (post-COLA) Owner contingency Including an estimate of owners costs would add ~ $6/MWhr

Levelized Cost in 2015 US Dollars LCOE Breakdown Levelized Cost in 2015 US Dollars FOAK with Regulated Utility Financing (IOU) 55% debt at 5.5%, 45% equity at 10% FOAK with Municipal Financing 100% debt at 3.5%, no equity $ 108 USD $ 74 USD Note: Capital costs reflect the Fluor SE estimate completed in 2014.
