Maumee, OH, [April 22, 2026] – Accelerant Solutions today announced that NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) has signed a three-year contract for The Nuclear Excellence Academy (NEXA®) Services, which provide SAT-based, ACAD-aligned training programs with turnkey deployment for the nuclear energy industry.   Since 2020, NuScale Power and Accelerant Solutions have collaborated on licensed operator trainings. This new agreement expands that long-standing partnership into Maintenance and Technical disciplines for NuScale Power’s industry-leading and innovative advanced small modular reactor (SMR) technology, the first and only SMR design certified by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).  Beginning in 2026, NuScale Power’s program developers will leverage NEXA® training across four disciplines: Radiation Protection, Mechanical, Instrumentation & Control, and Electrical, to enhance NuScale’s maintenance and technical training program. 

“NuScale Power continues to set the standard for what it means to be deployment-ready – not just in technology, but in workforce planning,” said Billy Mack, Accelerant Solutions President. “We’re honored to support their commitment to workforce readiness – ensuring their teams are prepared before plants come online.”  “NuScale values our partnership with Accelerant as we continue to advance our workforce training capabilities through NEXA,” said Carl Fisher, Chief Operating Officer at NuScale Power. “This collaboration supports our commitment to delivering efficient and portable training solutions for small modular reactors.”  
NEXA® Services provides full-service delivery – from program setup and instructor-led sessions to assessments and ongoing support. As demand for SMR technology accelerates, organizations that are investing in workforce readiness today will be ready to operate tomorrow.
