Small modular reactors are not even small. They're 400MW each and size-wise they conveniently don't include the containment building and all the supporting equipment and machinery. I don't know who came up with that name but it's not very descriptive term.
- imtringued 4y agoA potential SMR power plant from NuScale contains 5 SMR that each can be individually replaced. You forgot to qualify your "each". Each power plant can do 400MW but each individual SMR only does 77MW. Compare that to conventional nuclear reactors where a single reactor does 400MW and the entire plant does 1.6 GW
