SMR Program Goals and Objectives

Advancing the President’s agenda for U.S. economic growth and clean energy.

The Westinghouse design team is unmatched in their ability to: 1) certify their design with the NRC, 2) obtain a COL, and 3) achieve SMR commercialization and generate greater exports to the world.

5


The Westinghouse-Ameren Vision

• We will be the first to deploy a 100% American-made, safe, and economic SMR that will produce cleaner energy, enhance our country’s energy security and

capitalize on a transformational economic development opportunity to create sustainable clean energy jobs.

New applications for nuclear…

Aging Fossil Plants District Heating

Remote Markets Small Grid Markets

Desalination Process Heat

• Creating Sustainable Clean Energy Jobs – SMR component manufacturing

– Plant construction

– Engineering, design and training

• Working within constraints – Land, grid, cooling water, financing, distributed service

territory

• Offering clean energy – Offset owner costs for infrastructure development:

land, cooling, T&D

– Generation diversity

– Operational flexibility

• Providing project certainty – Reduced licensing risk

– Short-construction duration

– Cost predictability and certainty

6


DOE Investment Fund Announcement

• On March 22, the DOE announced $452 million in potential investment funds to support design and commercialization of American-made SMRs

• On April 19, Westinghouse, Ameren Missouri and state of Missouri announced an alliance to partner for DOE investment funds

– Initiative for U.S. to become the world leader in design, development and manufacturing of SMR technology for export to the world with components sourced completely in the United States

– Investment funds may be awarded to up to two SMR technology vendors and utility alliances

– 50/50 cost sharing for design certification and obtaining a COL from the NRC

– Requires applicants to include a plan with a plant in-service date in 2022 timeframe

• Westinghouse application was submitted May 18th (deadline May 21st)

• Expected DOE decision – August – December 2012

7


Planning for the DOE’s Schedule of Accelerated SMR Deployment by 2022

• Westinghouse will submit the Design Certification application for its SMR in the third quarter of 2013

• Westinghouse SMR technology based on the already-licensed AP1000® plant technology

– Expeditious review cycle for NRC personnel

• Ameren Missouri will submit a COL for five Westinghouse SMRs at the Callaway Energy Center in second quarter 2014

– Previous NRC docketed COLA for a large single unit at the Callaway site facilitates the development of the reference COL for the Westinghouse SMR
