i think advanced modular small nuclear reactors are the only viable way forward if we are to have a predominantly electrically powered future society. 'The term “modular” in the context of SMRs refers to the ability to fabricate major components of the nuclear steam supply system in a factory environment and ship to the point of use. Even though current large nuclear power plants incorporate factory-fabricated components (or modules) into their designs, a substantial amount of field work is still required to assemble components into an operational power plant. SMRs are envisioned to require limited on-site preparation and substantially reduce the lengthy construction times that are typical of the larger units. SMRs provide simplicity of design, enhanced safety features, the economics and quality afforded by factory production, and more flexibility (financing, siting, sizing, and end-use applications) compared to larger nuclear power plants. Additional modules can be added incrementally as demand for energy increases'. https://www.energy.gov/ne/advanced-small-modular-reactors-smrs https://www.energy.gov/ne/advanced-small-modular-reactors-sm... Most people are still thinking last century enormous reactors. Electricity does not travel well and a network of modular reactors provides enormous opportunity for housing development in areas that are hard to get power to. I am no longer enthusiastic about solar or wind power except for fringe augmentation of grids
