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

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

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
