The idea of many smaller reactors (actually, electricity generators) doesn’t make complete sense.

If “many smaller” is better than “few larger” then why isn’t our current electricity generation done with “many smaller”.

I would advocate for a small, gradual deployment ( maybe in smaller towns with smaller populations ) instead of Big Bang deployment.

See how feasible it is and scale or abandon accordingly.

Greens don’t want green energy. They want communism.

Are these similar to the reactor that was supposed to provide power to the base in Antarctica? They ended up reverting to diesel generators.

When they make a whole-house residential unit about the size of a hot water heater that can be encased in concrete in my back yard, I am totally down with it.
