Every time I read about SMRs the idea sounds fantastic. But, until a company actually starts building SMRs it is just a grift. The first company to actually build a usable SMR will have customers lined up at the door. No need to advertise to the public how neat your plans for SMRs are. Save that for investors. Just start building and testing. This technology is like landing and reusing rockets. It will completely change the calculus for choosing fission.
