NuScale’s U.S. NRC-approved methodology can be used to achieve a site boundary Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for most sites in the U.S. Due to NuScale’s strong safety case, the smaller EPZ would provide the same level of protection to the public as the 10-mile radius currently used for existing U.S. nuclear power plants.

A smaller EPZ means greater siting flexibility. This enhances the ability for NuScale SMR plants to be sited near process heat users or at retired coal power plant sites where population densities may be higher. The site boundary EPZ allows NuScale to better support industrial facilities in need of process heat, as facilities can be sited in close proximity to a NuScale plant, allowing greater efficiency in process heat transmission. NuScale is the only design that has an NRC-approved methodology that supports this capability.
