The company structures its revenue streams around the following key areas:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReactor sales\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuScale's primary revenue source is the sale of its small modular reactors. Each reactor unit generates approximately \u003cstrong\u003e$40 million\u003c\/strong\u003e in revenue upon sale. The company has secured contracts for \u003cstrong\u003e12 reactors\u003c\/strong\u003e in the first phase of its deployment, with a potential future expansion of up to \u003cstrong\u003e72 reactors\u003c\/strong\u003e at the Idaho National Laboratory site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance and service contracts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure operational efficiency, NuScale Power provides maintenance and service contracts for its reactors. These contracts typically generate recurring annual revenues, estimated at around \u003cstrong\u003e$5 million\u003c\/strong\u003e per reactor per year. With an estimated fleet size of \u003cstrong\u003e24 reactors\u003c\/strong\u003e by the year \u003cstrong\u003e2030\u003c\/strong\u003e, this could result in approximately \u003cstrong\u003e$120 million\u003c\/strong\u003e in service contract revenue annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLicensing agreements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLicensing agreements represent another vital revenue stream for NuScale. The company licenses its technology and designs to other entities interested in deploying SMR technology globally. In 2022, NuScale entered into a significant licensing agreement worth approximately \u003cstrong\u003e$6 million\u003c\/strong\u003e with a consortium in Canada to build and operate SMR systems. The company expects that adding more international partners could lead to licensing revenues exceeding \u003cstrong\u003e$30 million\u003c\/strong\u003e annually by 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConsulting services\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuScale also offers consulting services related to nuclear power plant operation and regulatory compliance. This segment has been growing steadily, with consulting revenues generating around \u003cstrong\u003e$2 million\u003c\/strong\u003e annually.
