Despite significant efforts by both parties to advance the CFPP,
it appears unlikely that the project will have enough subscription
to continue toward deployment. Therefore, UAMPS and NuScale have
mutually determined that ending the project is the most prudent
decision for both parties.
“Through our work with UAMPS and our partnership with the U.S.
Department of Energy, we have advanced our NuScale Power Modules™
to the point that utilities, governments and industrials can rely
on a proven small modular reactor (SMR) technology that has
regulatory approval and is in active production. Our work with CFPP
over the past ten years has advanced NuScale technology to the
stage of commercial deployment; reaching that milestone is a
tremendous success which we will continue to build on with future
customers,” said NuScale President and Chief Executive Officer John
Hopkins. “NuScale will continue with our other domestic and
international customers to bring our American SMR technology to
market and grow the U.S. nuclear manufacturing base, creating jobs
across the U.S. We thank UAMPS for the collaboration that has
enabled this advancement.”
“This decision is very disappointing given the years of
pioneering hard work put into the CFPP by UAMPS, CFPP LLC, NuScale,
U.S. Department of Energy, and the UAMPS member communities that
took the leadership role to launch the CFPP,” said UAMPS Chief
Executive Officer and General Manager Mason Baker. “Yet, this
decision is the best course for the UAMPS members participating in
the CFPP and doing what is best for those member communities will
always be the guiding light in such decisions. We have learned many
invaluable lessons during the development of the CFPP that we will
carry forward in future development work to meet the future energy
needs of the UAMPS member communities. We look forward to
continuing to provide innovative and cost-effective new resource
solutions to our members, and, at the same time, we hope NuScale is
successful in deploying its technology.”
Baker concluded, “We are working closely with NuScale and the
U.S. Department of Energy on next steps to wind the project
down.”
