300 MW is still pretty big, isn't it? Why don't they build nuclear reactors that can be made on a factory assembly line, shipped on the back of truck, and installed right where it's needed in a town? I assume the reactors in

I agree. I've been a manager for almost a decade now and I've swung to both extremes on meetings. Some recurring team meetings are a good thing. Personally, one of my favorite recurring meetings is the retrospective meeting aft
