Order includes key materials necessary for NuScale�s clean-energy technology, the NuScale Power Module�, and is a significant step toward commercialization

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced nuclear small modular reactor (SMR) technology, today announced that at the end of 2022, as scheduled, it placed the first upper reactor pressure vessel (RPV) long lead material (LLM) production order with Doosan Enerbility (Doosan), a world-class manufacturing and engineering company. The order is for materials essential to commence manufacturing of the first NuScale Power Modules that are scheduled to be in commercial operation at the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems� Carbon Free Power Project as early as 2029. In addition, NuScale and Doosan are aligned to manufacture additional modules for future NuScale VOYGR� SMR power plant projects with similar delivery dates.

�Finalizing and submitting this order to our valued partner, Doosan, showcases NuScale�s transition to the manufacturing phase of our modules and highlights our advanced position in the market to deploy our SMR technology to customers by the end of the decade,� said John Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of NuScale. �Our strong relationships with experienced partners like Doosan demonstrate NuScale�s robust global supply chain and positions us to meet the growing interest for NuScale VOYGR power plants that we are seeing around the world.�

�The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently issued a final rule to certify NuScale's innovative SMR design, which gives testament to NuScale�s status as the leading technology in the global SMR market,� said Jongdoo Kim, Head of Doosan Enerbility�s Nuclear Business Group. �Doosan is proud to take part in the construction of a NuScale SMR, offering clean and carbon-free energy projects to tackle climate change.�

In preparation for the long lead order, NuScale and Doosan initiated an effort in April 2022 to complete the manufacturing for the forging dies for the upper RPV. Building on this completion, the new LLM order includes heavy forgings, steam generator tubes, and weld material for six upper RPVs. The total estimated weight of the materials for six upper RPVs is more than 2,000 tons.

In addition to Doosan, NuScale continues to strengthen its supply chain readiness through coordination with its robust list of world-class suppliers and manufacturers in the U.S. and abroad.
