I think smaller reactors are a great idea. It allows us to iterate and learn. Also making many similar reactors will help drive down the costs more quickly due to economies of scale. I think the biggest mistake was stopping building. If we can slowly build small reactors constantly it will ensure that the knowledge stays fresh. Ontario has recently started doing this and I think it is a great restart to the nuclear program (https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1003248/ontario-building-more-small-modular-reactors-to-power-provinces-growth https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1003248/ontario-building-...). It may be a bit too late as it isn't expected to be done before the plants that currently provide 1/3 to 1/2 of our power (https://www.ieso.ca/power-data https://www.ieso.ca/power-data) hit end-of-life. But at least it is some progress to something that isn't just replacing them with natural gas.
