PROSPECTUS
204,063,030 Shares of Class A Common Stock
8,900,000 Warrants to Purchase Shares of Class A Common Stock
NUSCALE POWER CORPORATION
This prospectus relates to (1) the issuance by us of up to 154,720,015 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of NuScale Power Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NuScale Corp,” “we,” “our” or “us”), upon exchange (on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment) of Class B Units of NuScale Power, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“NuScale LLC”) (which Class B Units were originally purchased at various times since 2007 for ascribed prices per unit ranging from approximately $0.00 (for certain incentive awards) to $7.76 per unit, and which, together with Class B Units of NuScale LLC previously exchanged for Class A Common Stock, collectively had a weighted average ascribed purchase price of $4.74 per unit immediately after the Merger (defined below)) and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of NuScale Corp, and the resale of 171,755,372 shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon such exchange, the resale of which might otherwise be limited by the resale restrictions imposed on “control securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); (2) the issuance by us of up to 9,558,701 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the redeemable warrants issued in the IPO and converted in the Merger (defined below) into warrants to purchase Class A common (“Public Warrants”); (3) the issuance by us of up to 8,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase Spring Valley Class A ordinary shares that were issued in a private placement concurrently with the IPO and converted in the Merger (defined below) into warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (“Private Placement Warrants”) and the resale of such shares; and (4) the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees of up to: 8,900,000 Private Placement Warrants, which were originally purchased for $1.00 per warrant; 22,137,482 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were originally purchased for approximately $10.00 per share by investors (“PIPE Investors”) immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (defined below); and 120,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held by former directors of Spring Valley Acquisition Corp (“Spring Valley Founders”), which were originally purchased for approximately $0.003 per share.
On May 2, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Spring Valley Acquisition Corp., formerly a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Spring Valley”), completed the previously announced transactions pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 13, 2021 (as amended) between Spring Valley, Spring Valley Merger Sub, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Merger Sub”) and NuScale LLC, including: (a) the domestication of Spring Valley as a Delaware corporation (and the change of its name to “NuScale Power Corporation”); and (b) the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into NuScale LLC, with NuScale LLC as the surviving business entity in the Merger, through which the combined company was reorganized in an “UP-C” structure, with NuScale Corp now serving as the sole manager of NuScale LLC. Immediately after the Merger, NuScale LLC was owned in part, indirectly through NuScale Corp, by former public and private shareholders of Spring Valley, and in part directly by continuing equity owners of NuScale LLC (the “Legacy NuScale Equityholders”).
After the domestication and immediately before completion of the Merger, Spring Valley issued to the PIPE Investors, in private placements, 23,700,002 shares of Class A Common Stock at approximately $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $235,000,000.
In connection with the special meeting at which shareholders approved the Merger, holders of 8,599,631 shares of Class A Common Stock, or 37.5% of the shares with redemption rights, exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.10 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $86.9 million. The shares of Class A Common Stock being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus by the selling securityholders represent approximately 73.8% of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of May 26, 2023, assuming the exercise of all outstanding options to purchase Class A Common Stock. The sale of shares by the selling securityholders, or the perception in the market that the selling securityholders intend to sell a large number of shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of Class A Common Stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of Class A Common Stock. Even if our trading price is significantly below $10.00, the offering price for the Spring Valley Units (composed of one Spring Valley Class A ordinary share and one half of a Spring Valley Public Warrant) offered in our initial public offering, certain of the selling securityholders, including the Spring Valley Founders and the Legacy NuScale Equityholders, may still have an incentive to sell shares of Class A Common Stock because they purchased the shares at prices lower than the price paid by the purchasers of Spring Valley Class A ordinary shares sold in the Spring Valley initial public offering or the current trading price of Class A Common Stock. For example, based on the closing price of Class A Common Stock of $7.79 as of May 26, 2023, and assuming all shares had been sold immediately after the Merger at such price, the Spring Valley Founders could have experienced a potential profit of approximately $7.79 per share, or $934,800 in the aggregate; and the Legacy NuScale Equityholders could have realized a potential profit (on average) of approximately $3.05 per share, or $544.1 million in the aggregate. Similarly, if Spring Valley Sponsor, LLC sold Private Placement Warrants for $1.70 per warrant, the closing price of our warrants on May 26, 2023, it would realize a potential profit of approximately $0.70 per warrant, or $6.2 million in the aggregate.
The selling securityholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock registered hereby publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
We provide more information about how the selling securityholders may sell their shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
We paid certain offering fees and expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Common Stock and will not receive proceeds from the exchange of NuScale LLC Class B Units (and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for Class A Common Stock or from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants or shares of Class A Common Stock by the selling securityholders, except with respect to any amounts received by us upon exercise of any warrants. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive from such exercises, depends on the trading price of Class A Common Stock, which may not exceed the $11.50 warrant exercise price before the warrants expire. In certain circumstances, the warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis. The selling securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of warrants or Class A Common Stock.
Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and trades under the symbol “SMR.” On May 26, 2023, the closing sale price of Class A Common Stock was $7.79 per share. Our warrants are listed on the NYSE and trade under the symbol “SMR.WT.” On May 26, 2023, the closing sale price of our warrants was $1.70 per warrant.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under applicable federal securities laws, and therefore are subject to certain reduced public company reporting requirements. Our principal executive offices are located at 6650 SW Redwood Lane, Suite 210, Portland, OR 97224, and our telephone number is (971) 371‑1592.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this prospectus may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws that are not historical facts and that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected or projected results. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:
our financial and business performance, including financial projections and business metrics;
our ability to obtain regulatory approvals to deploy our small modular reactor in the United States and abroad;
forecasts regarding end-customer adoption rates and demand for our products in markets that are new and rapidly evolving;
macroeconomic conditions;
developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry;
our anticipated growth rates and market opportunities;
the period over which we anticipate existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements;
the potential for our business development efforts to maximize the potential value of our portfolio; and
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing.
The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we currently consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not take any statement regarding past trends or activities as a representation that the trends or activities will continue in the future.

SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information included in this prospectus, including information incorporated by reference, and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus, the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the documents incorporated by reference herein carefully, including the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and our financial statements.
NuScale
NuScale Power Corporation (“NuScale Corp,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is an advanced nuclear technology company that is developing a small modular nuclear reactor to generate steam for electrical generation, district heating, desalination, hydrogen production and other process heat applications. Our core technology, the NuScale Power Module (“NPM”), can generate 77 million watts of electrical power (“MWe”) and is premised on well-established nuclear technology principles, with a focus on the integration of components, simplification or elimination of systems and use of passive safety features. Our flagship power plant, named VOYGR, is a scalable plant design that can accommodate up to 12 NPMs with a total gross output of 924 MWe. We expect the first VOYGR power plant to be operational in 2029.
Background
NuScale Corp (formerly named “Spring Valley Acquisition Corp.”) was a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. On May 2, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Spring Valley Acquisition Corp (“Spring Valley”), completed the following transactions pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 13, 2021 (as amended) between Spring Valley, Spring Valley Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and NuScale Power, LLC (“NuScale LLC”): (a) the domestication of Spring Valley as a Delaware corporation and the change of its name to “NuScale Power Corporation”; and (b) the merger (“Merger”) of Merger Sub into NuScale LLC, with NuScale LLC surviving, through which the combined company was reorganized in an “UP-C” structure, with NuScale Corp serving as the sole manager of NuScale LLC. Immediately after the Merger, NuScale LLC was owned in part (indirectly through NuScale Corp) by former public and private shareholders of Spring Valley and in part directly by the historical equity owners of NuScale LLC (the “Legacy NuScale Equityholders”). In connection with the Merger, Spring Valley entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors purchased an aggregate of 23,700,002 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $235,000,000.
As a result of these transactions, immediately after the Merger, former shareholders of Spring Valley and the PIPE Investors owned shares of Class A Common Stock of NuScale Corp; NuScale Corp held (and continues to hold) NuScale LLC Class A Units with sole management control of NuScale LLC; and the Legacy NuScale Equityholders held NuScale LLC Class B Units and an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock of NuScale Corp (which represent a right to cast one vote per share at the NuScale Corp level, and carry no economic rights), which they may convert into shares of Class A Common Stock.
Offering
This prospectus registers (1) the issuance of up to 154,720,015 shares Class A Common Stock upon exchange (which Class B Units were originally purchased at various times since 2007 for ascribed prices per unit ranging from approximately $0.00 (for certain incentive awards) to $7.76 per unit, and which, together with Class B Units of NuScale LLC previously exchanged for Class A Common Stock, collectively had a weighted average ascribed purchase price of $4.74 per unit immediately after the Merger) and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock of NuScale Corp, and the resale of most of those shares; (2) the issuance of up to 9,558,701 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the redeemable warrants issued in Spring Valley’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and converted in the Merger into warrants to purchase Class A common; (3) the issuance of up to 8,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants that were issued in a private placement concurrently with the IPO and converted into warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (“Private Placement Warrants”) and the resale of such shares; and (4) the resale of up to: 8,900,000 Private Placement Warrants, which were originally purchased for $1.00 per warrant; 22,137,482 shares of Class A Common
1


Stock, which were originally purchased for approximately $10.00 per share by the PIPE Investors; and 120,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held by former directors of Spring Valley (“Spring Valley Founders”), which were originally purchased for approximately $0.003 per share.
Our issuance of Class A Common Stock in exchange for NuScale LLC Class B Units will not result in proceeds; any net proceeds we receive upon the exercise of warrants will be used for general corporate purposes. The selling securityholders will determine when and how they will dispose of the shares of Class A Common Stock or warrants registered under this prospectus for resale. We will not receive any proceeds from sales by selling securityholders.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors related to our business and operations described in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors” as updated in Part II, Item 1A of subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the heading “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation By Reference” in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
3


USE OF PROCEEDS
The issuance of Class A Common Stock in exchange for NuScale LLC Class B Units will not result in proceeds to NuScale. Any net proceeds we receive upon exercise of warrants will be used for general corporate purposes. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive from such exercises, depends on the trading price of our Class A Common Stock, which may not exceed the $11.50 warrant exercise price before the warrants expire. In certain circumstances, the warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis.
All of the warrants and shares of Class A Common Stock offered by the selling securityholders will be sold by them for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. The selling securityholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes, and certain legal expenses incurred by such selling securityholders in disposing of their shares of Class A Common Stock, and we will bear all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including registration and filing fees, NYSE listing fees, and fees and expenses of our legal counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of 8,900,000 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock and an aggregate of 202,912,854 shares of Class A Common Stock. The selling securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the warrants or shares of Class A Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “selling securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees, and others who later come to hold any of the selling securityholders’ interest in the Class A Common Stock other than through a public sale (including a sale pursuant to Rule 144). Such selling securityholders may currently hold shares of Class A Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, or may receive shares of Class A Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part upon exchange of NuScale LLC Class B Units for NuScale Class A Common Stock, or upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant.
Certain of our stockholders, including certain selling securityholders, purchased their shares for amounts below recent trading prices of our Class A Common Stock and our warrants. The Spring Valley Founders paid approximately $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant and $0.003 per share for Class A Common Stock; PIPE Investors paid approximately $10.00 per share for Class A Common Stock; and Legacy NuScale Equityholders paid a weighted average ascribed purchase price of $4.74 per unit for Class B Units (which may be exchanged on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock). For example, based on the closing price of Class A Common Stock of $7.79 as of May 26, 2023, and assuming all shares had been sold immediately after the Merger at such price, the Spring Valley Founders could have experienced a potential profit of approximately $7.79 per share, or $934,800 in the aggregate; and the Legacy NuScale Equityholders could have realized a potential profit (on average) of approximately $3.05 per share, or $544.1 million in the aggregate. Similarly, if Spring Valley Sponsor, LLC sold Private Placement Warrants for $1.70 per warrant, the closing price of our warrants on May 26, 2023, it would realize a potential profit of approximately $0.70 per warrant, or $6.2 million in the aggregate. Purchasers of Class A Common Stock in the offering made by this prospectus may not experience a similar rate of return.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, (i) the names of the selling securityholders, (ii) the number of NuScale LLC Class B Units held by such selling securityholders, if any, before the exchange of such NuScale LLC Class B Units for shares of Class A Common Stock (and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock), (iii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants held by such selling securityholders prior to any exchange by them of NuScale LLC Class B Units (and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock), (iv) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that will be owned by such selling securityholders after the exchange of NuScale LLC Class B Units held by them (and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) and the exercise of Private Placement Warrants, and (v) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that will be owned by such selling securityholders following the sale of shares in this offering. The percentage ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock is based on an aggregate of 228,229,811 shares of NuScale Class A Common Stock and NuScale Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 26, 2023.
For purposes of the table below, we have assumed that the selling securityholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. The following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the selling securityholders. In addition, we assume that the selling securityholders have not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Any changed or new information given to us by the selling securityholders, including regarding the identity of, and the securities held by, each selling securityholder, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if and when necessary.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The information in the table below was determined upon review of the records and public filings available to us, and may not reflect information not found in these sources. Beneficial ownership generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each selling securityholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over the shares of

In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our Class A Common Stock or warrants by bidding for or purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock or warrants in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of Class A Common Stock or warrants sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our Class A Common Stock or warrants at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
