Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that NuScale Power
(NuScale), in which Fluor is the majority investor, completed and
formally submitted its design certification application to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for NuScale’s small modular
nuclear reactor commercial power plant design. The reactor
technology can deliver the energy diversity needed to power unique

“Fluor continues to be proud of its investment in NuScale and
how the company has rapidly moved through the design certification
application process, and we are eagerly awaiting NRC review and
approval,” said David Seaton, Fluor’s chairman and CEO. “We believe
that the future of the U.S. nuclear industry is in small modular
reactor technology and that NuScale is uniquely positioned as the
only U.S. company that offers it.”
“The world’s demand for electricity and clean water will
increase significantly over the next several decades,” said John
Hopkins, CEO of NuScale. “NuScale’s technology can meet that
challenge with clean and reliable power, thereby improving the
environment and quality of life.”
NuScale’s small modular reactors include scalable plants, and
the facility output can be incrementally increased depending upon
the demand. The technology’s operational flexibility can also be
integrated with other carbon-free renewable energy sources like
wind and solar to provide consistent power and to help enable
stable grid performance.
Fluor has supported NuScale since October 2011 – before the U.S.
Department of Energy announced its cost-sharing program – as part
of a long history with nuclear energy. For more than 60 years,
Fluor has been providing the engineering, procurement, construction
and maintenance of nuclear power plants, thereby helping to provide
a long-term clean energy solution in the U.S. and around the
world.
