Conclusion

The nuclear plant designs that will be successfully deployed in the future will: Be standardized Be pre-engineered and licensed Be simpler and safer Have improved construction technology that

i t d l t tiincorporates modular construction Be easier to operate and maintain Have a track record of success

The AP1000 plant and Westinghouse SMR match these criteria, providing nuclear energy through simplified passive safety systems and reduced construction time, while ensuring a high degree certainty for schedule and cost

The AP1000 plant is being successfully constructed on schedule and will be a proven plant when the first unit goes into operation in 2014

The Westinghouse SMR provides a clean energy solution with enhanced safety, security and affordability The new SMR industry will provide manufacturing opportunities and jobs across the U.S. and help to

maintain U.S. technology leadership
