NUSCALE POWER files 10-Q: quarterly report (10-Q)

Overview

Our mission is to provide scalable advanced nuclear technology to produce electricity, heat and clean water to improve the quality of life for people around the world. We are commercializing a modular, scalable electric Light Water Reactor nuclear power plant that we believe will deliver safer, scalable, cost-effective and reliable carbon free power. Our core technology, the NPM, can generate 77 MWe, with a focus on the integration of components, simplification or elimination of systems and use of passive safety features. We believe that this results in a safe and highly reliable power plant suitable to be sited close to where electricity, water desalinization, hydrogen production or process heat is needed.

Since our founding in 2007, we have made significant progress towards commercializing the first SMR in the United States. In September 2020, our 12-module design (currently approved for 160 million watts of thermal power or 50 MWe per NPM) became the first and only SMR to receive an SDA from the NRC. In May 2025, the NRC finalized their review and approved our second SDA application and the associated licensing topical reports for our 6-unit 77 MWe NPM design, giving customers in the United States the ability to reference the approved design and SDA for expedited construction and operating licensing for a plant that is using the NuScale SMR technology.

NuScale is actively collaborating with ENTRA1 on development initiatives for the deployment of NuScale’s nuclear technology. ENTRA1 is NuScale’s exclusive global partner for the commercialization and development of our products and services, including NPMs to be included in nuclear power plants. While ENTRA1 can decide in its sole discretion whether to participate in commercialization and development opportunities with NuScale, NuScale must obtain ENTRA1’s consent to pursue opportunities without their involvement.

Outlook Foreign SMR Market

Demand for energy in foreign markets is currently being driven by population growth, industrialization and urbanization with countries in Asia contributing the most to international growth. Rising living standards, driven by economic growth, has increased the need for residential electricity, a trend that is expected to increase in the coming years, with Asia forecasted to account for nearly 60% of global growth in electricity consumption through 2050.

The Company currently has one international customer: RoPower Nuclear S.A. (“RoPower”), which is a joint venture established by S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A. (“Nuclearelectrica”) and Nova Power & Gas S.A. In July 2024, NuScale and RoPower signed a technology licensing agreement, which granted RoPower a right to use certain intellectual property of NuScale’s. In the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, Nuclearelectrica and RoPower signed the Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Phase 2 contract with Fluor, a related party to NuScale. FEED Phase 2 included tasks related to the development of a Class 3 plant cost estimate, as well as support to RoPower with its regulatory and stakeholder engagements. NuScale completed their scope of work for FEED Phase 2 as a subcontractor to Fluor in late 2025.

With ENTRA1, we continue to develop our international customer interest as we foresee significant customer demand over the long-term outside of the United States as industry trends like decarbonization, an increasing demand for renewable energy alternatives, and changes in broader economic and geopolitical conditions continue to grow. Our collective team puts significant effort into developing dialogue with foreign governments and corporations in order to educate and market our technology.

Domestic SMR Market

Demand for energy in the United States is currently being driven by the significant growth in the data center industry, particularly as artificial intelligence (“AI”) deployment, cloud computing adoption, and digital transformation initiatives accelerate across sectors. Further, the United States government has identified nuclear technology as imperative to the country’s national security objectives and ordered the expansion of American nuclear energy capacity to 400 gigawatts by 2050, or nearly 400% the current capacity.

On September 2, 2025, the Tennessee Valley Authority (“TVA”) announced the signing of a non-binding agreement under which ENTRA1 and TVA will collaborate to develop plants to provide TVA with up to 6 gigawatts of new nuclear power generation. TVA and ENTRA1 announced that this collaboration is an important first step to advance deployment of nuclear technology in the United States, with ENTRA1 also announcing that its immediate strategy is to utilize NuScale’s SMR equipment inside their power plants.

We are positioning ourselves to support the potential next phase of the collaboration between TVA and ENTRA1 which is contingent on the execution of one or more purchase power agreements between ENTRA1 and TVA

In addition, ENTRA1 and NuScale continue to develop domestic customer interests, including interest from hyperscaler, technology, industrial and micro-grid customers in sectors that include direct air capture, water desalinization, hydrogen production and mission critical facilities.
