6. Why Nuclear Makes Sense for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
► Deployment of nuclear power
technologies for energy production
allows KSA oil resources to be dedicated
to more valuable export purposes or
downstream industry creation
► Nuclear power will provide highly reliable
and safe generation for KSA’s future
energy needs
► Nuclear power will provide KSA with a significant source of carbon-free
technology
► Nuclear power will allow KSA to generate electricity and the potential to
use power station heat properties to support desalination needs
► Nuclear power will provide a significant source of highly skilled jobs for
thousands of Saudi workers

7. Keys to Successful Nuclear Deployment
► Existence of a utility that has the financial and technical capability to
undertake nuclear power generation
► Selection of a technology that will succeed in the geographic location,
matched with an EPC contractor that can successfully engineer and
construct the technology and with a world class nuclear operator who can
provide the operational excellence know-how.
► Successful conclusion of a Section 123 Agreement with the
U.S. government
► Commitment to engagement with the International Atomic Energy Agency
and willingness to create a credible regulatory body to oversee deployment
► An integrated multi-company supply team that incorporates a technology
provider, a qualified EPC team and an experienced utility nuclear operator
would provide the best model to achieve successful deployment of nuclear
technologies in Saudi Arabia.
