AI Contract Overview

The FIRST program, managed by the Department of State's Arms Control and Nonproliferation office, aims to reclaim American global nuclear energy dominance by expediting the deployment of safe, secure, and proliferation-resistant U.S. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). In alignment with Executive Orders 14299 and 14154, the initiative provides critical expertise to potential international buyers through a variety of support mechanisms, including technical tours, site visits, feasibility studies, and the establishment of training hubs and control room simulators. The scope of work covers a broad range of technical and strategic topics, including technology selection, deployment roadmaps, licensing, nuclear security, and workforce development. By focusing on regional collaboration and the integration of SMRs into diverse energy mixes, the program seeks to place U.S. technology on procurement shortlists in emerging markets while maintaining the highest standards of safety and nonproliferation. Performance for this forecast is expected to take place across multiple international locations.
