Current reactors can be 1600 MW. This is more like the seventies and eighties reactors at 400-500 MW.
Which is great!
Maybe it's not a coincidence that a lot of nuclear energy was built back then, which we are benefiting from, to this day.
Finland has the famous Olkiluoto 3 EPR project that is being ramped up currently. There is a next reactor project in Hanhikivi that is in very early phases. But it was to have been supplies by Rosatom, a mostly Russian consortium. Pressure vessel manufacturing in Ukraine etc. So that project is frozen now. It has been suggested that perhaps multiple SMR units could replace it. Infrastructure has been planned and permits for the large part already exist.
