Organization
NuScale Corp (“NuScale”, the “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”) is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company is the primary beneficiary of NuScale LLC, a variable interest entity, and all activity of NuScale LLC and the Company are consolidated herein. NuScale LLC is a limited liability company organized in the State of Oregon in 2011. As at September 30, 2024, NuScale was majority owned by Fluor Enterprises, Inc., a subsidiary of Fluor Corporation; however, subsequent to September 30, 2024, Fluor’s ownership fell below 50%.
Operations
The Company is commercializing a modular, scalable 77 megawatt (gross) electric Light Water Reactor nuclear power plant using exclusive rights to a nuclear power plant design obtained from Oregon State University (“OSU”). The following represents key milestones in the development of this technology:
December 2016: DCA completed
January 2017: DCA submitted to the NRC
March 2017: DCA accepted for review by the NRC
August 2020: NRC issued the Final Safety Evaluation Report ("FSER")
July 2023: SDA Application and associated licensing topical reports accepted for formal review by the NRC
The FSER represents the NRC’s completion of its technical review and approval of the NuScale SMR design. With this final phase of NuScale’s DCA now complete, customers may proceed with plans to develop NuScale power plants with the understanding that the NRC has approved the safety aspects of the NuScale design. Based on the NRC’s published schedule for SDA Application review, we expect the NRC will complete its review and SDA approval to be received by July 31, 2025.
The majority of the Company’s operations and long-lived assets were attributable to operations in the United States other than the long-lead material work in process being manufactured in South Korea during the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years.

On January 5, 2024, NuScale announced a plan to reduce the Company’s workforce by 154 full time employees, or 28%, in order to continue our transition from a R&D-based company to a commercial company. This resulted in a one-time charge of $3,236 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and is included in Other expenses on the condensed consolidated income statement.
As a result of the cost optimization plans implemented by management, the utilization of our ATM Program and execution of customer contracts, we believe we will have sufficient funds available to cover required R&D activities and operating cash needs for the next twelve months.
