Certrec’s expertise streamlined the submission process for NuScale’s small modular reactor design, saving time and money.
FORT WORTH, Texas, June 11, 2025 — Certrec, a leading provider of regulatory compliance and advanced SaaS applications for the nuclear industry, is proud to announce its continued support of NuScale Power (NuScale) in submitting and achieving U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval for Revision 2 of NuScale’s Standard Design Approval (SDA) application.
This important milestone marks the latest chapter in a long-standing collaboration with NuScale for its cutting-edge small modular reactor (SMR) design. Certrec first supported NuScale in 2012 during the development of its initial Design Certification Application (DCA). Revision 2 of the SDA reflects critical design enhancements and licensing updates that aid NuScale’s ongoing deployment efforts.
“We are proud to have Certrec as our trusted partner in developing our licensing applications for more than a decade. Their expertise and support have been invaluable in helping us bring our small modular reactor technology to market. As we continue to push the boundaries of nuclear energy, it’s partners like Certrec that make the difference.” – Carrie Fosaaen, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Services, NuScale Power
Leveraging decades of licensing experience and deep regulatory knowledge, Certrec worked closely with NuScale’s team to ensure a high-quality submittal. Certrec’s role in the development and management of the SDA Revision 2 application included project oversight, document processing, and regulatory support.
Certrec digitized and expedited the application process through Taktix®, Certrec’s SaaS workflow solution. Taktix® enabled NuScale’s team to focus on the development of the technical content while keeping documentation protected and organized.
“We are honored to continue supporting NuScale in their leadership role to deploy innovative nuclear technology,” said Ted Enos, President & CEO of Certrec. “Helping bring Revision 2 of their SDA across the finish line is a testament to our team’s commitment to excellence in nuclear licensing and our belief in the future of clean, safe, and reliable nuclear power.”
Certrec is pleased to be a part of NuScale’s success. NuScale’s SMR technology offers a scalable, carbon-free energy solution designed to meet modern energy demands. Certrec remains committed to supporting the safe deployment of this transformative technology across North America.
