Re: NuScale Power Corporation – Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as legal counsel for NuScale Power Corporation (the “Registrant”) in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the registration of 8,972,128 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the Registrant’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”).
We have reviewed the corporate actions of the Registrant in connection with this matter and have examined the documents, corporate records, and other instruments we deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the 8,972,128 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the 2022 Plan are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Registrant and, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ STOEL RIVES LLP
