EXCEL provided overall licensing leadership for development and submittal of the first ever Part 52 Early Site Permit application including development of responses to NRC requests for additional information (RAIs).

EXCEL is also currently providing management-level support for the Clinch River ESP. EXCEL is developing and implementing the tools required for successful deployment of the NuScale SMR at Clinch River and INL.
Key Projects in this area include: The Exelon Clinton Power Station and TVA Clinch River SMR Project.
