NuScale, UAMPS Kick Off Idaho SMR Nuclear Plant Licensing
NuScale Power, Fluor Corp., and Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) have executed a series of major agreements to prepare for licensing of the Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in Idaho Falls, effectively driving forward the nation’s first small modular reactor (SMR) plant.
Fluor Corp., the majority investor in NuScale Power, on Jan. 11 said Utah state energy services intermodal agency UAMPS awarded the company a “cost-reimbursable development agreement to provide estimating, development, design and engineering services” for the CFPP. Portland, Oregon–based NuScale, which has also signed a development cost reimbursement agreement with UAMPS, noted separately on Monday that agreements it signed as a Fluor subcontractor will allow it to develop “higher maturity” cost estimates and initial project planning work for the licensing, manufacturing, and construction of the CFPP.
