• Utah Associated Municipal Power

Systems (UAMPS) Carbon Free Power

Project (CFPP) will be first deployment

• A 12-module plant (720 MWe) with

commercial operation in 2026

• Preferred location within the Idaho

National Laboratory (INL) site

• DOE awarded $16.5 million in matching

funds to perform site selection, secure

site and water, and prepare combined

operating license application to NRC

NuScale EQ, continued

• Regs/Codes/Standards

– NUREG 0800

– DSRS 3.11

– RG 1.89

– RG 1.100

– ASME QME-1 2007

– IEEE 323-1974

• EQ Design Influences

– discovered gap in trip

coverage

– informed bioshield design

– informed RXB design

12

Template #: 0000-20955-F01 R8


NuScale EQ, continued

• Unique EQ Challenges

– FOAK equipment

– radiological source terms

– continuous vacuum/elevated

temperatures/submergence

– VRLA batteries

– multi-module affects

– no debris generation in CNV

NuScale Approach to EQ

16

Template #: 0000-20955-F01 R8


NuScale EQ Approach – A NuWay

• Reasons for NuWay

– major risks

• schedule

• resources

– lessons learned

• Collaboration

– configuration and testing

– review and acceptance process

17

Template #: 0000-20955-F01 R8


NuScale EQ Approach – A NuWay, continued

• Risk Mitigation

– design finalization

– pre-designed test plans and mitigation strategies

– FOAK testing and qualification

– test failures

• Cost Reduction

– shared test chambers/limit number of tests

– streamlined reporting

– ITAAC considerations
