Why we are here and how did we get here?

• The SDA submittal is an engineering optimization of the NuScale DCA to allow for better customer use and deployment. The SDA maintains the approved technical and licensing basis from the DCA while maintaining the overall safety and risk profile.

High Level Design Changes

• Redesigned site layout to accommodate a 6 NPM configuration

• NPM optimized for increased power output; ease of maintenance, manufacturing and operation while maintaining safety margins:

o Steam generator was over designed for 160MWth application (DCA) and allows for increased power output while maintaining design limits o Additional testing has been performed to validate performance of NPM engineered safety features at an increased power level o Additional engineered safety features added to eliminate certain events and simplify Chapter 15 analysis

• Current evaluation of SDA design changes does not significantly alter the DCA PRA risk insights.

Site Design Changes

• Reduced footprint Balance of Site Equipment

• Dry cooling via air-cooled condensers Reactor Building

• Single (1x6) turbine building Central Utilities Building o Rather than two (2x3) Control Building

• Conforming site layout changes Annex Building Radwaste Building Turbine Building Onsite Warehouse Substation Transmission Air-cooled Condensers Towers PM-135236 Rev. 0 Copyright © 2023 NuScale Power, LLC.

Biological Reactor RXB Design Changes Refueling Building Shield Machine Crane

• Six modules o 2x3 configuration Ground

• Reclassify seismic class of RXB Surface o Some floor and roof slabs are SC-II

• Steel plate composite walls (from reinforced concrete) o Supported by the BDAM LTR

• Lower Pool Level o Improves long term cooling, while still maintaining SFP and ECCS coverage. Allows room to re-arrange CNV penetrations.

• Reduction in sizes and quantities of SSC in RXB Reactor Reactor Pool

• Conforming changes - i.e., RBC, Bioshield Spent Fuel Vessel NuScale Containment Power Module Pool Flange Tool

• COL Items for spent fuel storage racks, reactor flange Vessel tool. Flange Tool PM-135236 Rev. 0 Copyright © 2023 NuScale Power, LLC.

• Increased Power Level (250MWth from 160MWth) steam line o Includes conforming changes (e.g., pressures, temperatures) feedwater line o Safety-related and risk significant containment vessel o Re-performing safety analyses in SDAA reactor vessel

• Lower RPV material change from SA-508 low alloy SS to FXM-19 austenitic SS pressurizer o No expected radiation embrittlement, allows removal of the RPV support lug surveillance program steam generator

• Upper CNV Material change from SA-508 low alloy SS to F6NM martensitic SS feedwater header o Stronger material allows for higher design pressure with reduced wall thickness and no need for cladding reactor core module support skirt PM-135236 Rev. 0 Copyright © 2023 NuScale Power, LLC.
