Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy, through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), seeks to facilitate the development of innovative SMR designs that have the potential to address the nation?s economic, environmental and energy security goals. Specifically, the DOE is soliciting applications for SMR designs that offer unique and innovative features that can serve to improve nuclear safety, operability, efficiency, economics, security, and performance over existing plants and previously certified nuclear plant designs and that can achieve NRC design certification on a schedule that supports deployment in the 2025 timeframe. Program funding will be provided at a minimum of 50% industry cost-share and a maximum of 50% Federal cost-share to the awardee(s) for the purposes of completing design development and certification efforts for innovative SMR design projects. The total Government funding available for any si
ngle award under this FOA shall not exceed $226M over five (5) years, subject to availability of funds.

This FOA is available at Fedconnect (https://www.fedconnect.net) under reference number DE-FOA-0000800.

Any Government obligation under this program is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for award purposes can be made.

Program funding will be provided at a minimum of 50% industry cost-share and a maximum of 50% Federal cost-share to the awardee(s) for the purposes of completing design development and certification efforts for innovative SMR design projects. The total Government funding available for any si
