NuScale, through our applicant tracking system service, also uses cookies and other similar technologies to assist visitors to research and apply for job postings in an efficient manner.

Again, cookies are not used to identify specific persons - only to be able to track a specific user of the website, sometimes when they leave the website and come back, to make sure the website works well for that user and for other users.

By using our site, you agree to the use of cookies and the processing of data about you in the manner and for the purposes set above.
