2 Currently Supporting Utility Licensee/Owner New Nuclear Planning, Scheduling, estimating,organizing, & Project Deployment Programs Various OEM/EPC New Nuclear Consortiums & Large Light Water Reactor (LLWR) Technologies: Areva/Bechtel EPR GE Hitachi/URS ESBWR Mitsubishi/URS APWR Toshiba/CB&I ABWR High Bridge - ew uclear Build Projects Westinghouse/CB&I AP1000 Various Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Technologies Supporting International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Subject Matter Expert consulting for Project Management & Business Systems Integration for IAEA member nation training & development 2

3 SMR Development Model Studied market needs and small reactor/micro grid technologies Best fit solution for <100MWe applications Not a replacement option for base load coal, CCTG, or LLWR Created a SMR integrated development model HBED has a business vs. technology focus We focus on the business case model for SMR deployment Offering this private financing approach See more opportunity in advanced reactors with mature designs Developed relationships with SMR designers, fuel suppliers, EPC firms, nuclear fleet O&M firms, and customers We recognize small reactor project developers, integrators and licensees are essential to SMR project deployment 3

5 Small- and Medium-Sized Reactors Reactors MWe 12 module NuScale 300 MW GE PRISM Large Reactors 200 MW Westinghouse SMR Holtec SMR- 160 B&W mpower Medium Sized Reactors 700 MW 100 MW SMART Toshiba 4S Small Reactors 300 MW RADIX CAREM & GEN4 5

6 Advanced SMR Fundamentals Assumptions SMR customers want a solution do not want to get into the energy generation business do not want to own or operate SMRs Certain facilities need to be capable off-the-grid Technology Natural Gas is not an off-the-grid option SMRs are compact, robust technology Mature Small Modular Reactor types are being proposed by industry Many SMRs are too large for customers process needs Nuclear reactors are not economical load following devices Need A SMR technology that meets customer needs with a viable business case A delivery team that can design, license, construct and operate the SMR Mechanisms to facilitate and attract interested parties 6

7 Where is the money? Lets look at a generic 100 MWe SMR Assume $ 8000/kw Total Project Cost = $800 million which includes licensing, EPC and Owners costs 7% for development 12% for criteria engineering & licensing 15% for owners cost 66% for detailed Engineering Procurement and Construction 7

8 SMR Business Case Criterion To become an option SMR s need to do more! They need to : To be small Really - <100 MWe Generally not be in a market serviced by natural gas Offer products or services beyond basic electricity or heat Fuel cycle benefits Ancillary services Additional Products liquid fuel or water Provide dense energy production or the facility is huge and expensive Commercially viable from the FOAK Advanced reactors offer more possibilities! 8
