NuScale Power Partners with Accelerant Solutions to Develop Small Modular Reactor Operator Training Program

At a signing ceremony on June 7, 2023, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) and Accelerant Solutions announced an agreement for the development and implementation of a NuScale Licensed Operator Training Program.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230608005034/en/

Since 2020, NuScale and Accelerant Solutions have collaborated to develop lesson plans to train plant operators on operating systems, use of operating procedures, and the NuScale control room simulator. The agreement entails Accelerant Solutions and its strategic technology partner Tecnatom USA leveraging their first-of-a-kind PLANT™ software, which uses interactive visual aids and a single, authoritative source for all drawings and documents that can be easily shared between lessons.

The collaboration between NuScale and Accelerant Solutions builds upon NuScale’s innovations in control room staffing and will accelerate nuclear energy training for the innovative VOYGR™ power plant design. VOYGR power plant configurations up to the 12-module, VOYGR-12 924 MWe power plant can be operated safely and reliably with a minimum of three licensed operators from a single control room – a feature approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff.

“We are excited to sign this agreement today with Accelerant because this partnership sets the stage for the successful training for future VOYGR plant operators,” said John Hopkins, NuScale President and Chief Executive Officer.

The forging of this partnership marks an important training program milestone and forms a significant alliance between NuScale and Accelerant Solutions to bring best practices, a robust training program, and a breakthrough plant design to all future NuScale customers.

"We are thrilled to be selected as NuScale's SMR training partner,” said Billy Mack, President of Accelerant Solutions. “This partnership will accelerate power for all humankind. We are committed to delivering the highest-quality training programs to NuScale's clients.”

In addition to the development of an operator-training program, NuScale is also preparing the nuclear workforce of tomorrow through the deployment of Energy Exploration (E2) Centers, including recently launching the first international E2 Center at the University Politehnica of Bucharest in Romania
