Reliability depends on reliability of people doing the work.
All sizes of nuclear power generators, require reliability.
There are many proposed versions of “small” / “small modular” [factory built modules] . . . nuclear reactors. They all include technical, durability and reliability problems.
Government is not established as being reliable nor wise about the decision-making that pronounces approval. Government, now, being obsessed with funneling all decisions thru the leftists’ DEI thresher that re-allocates work on the basis of whomever progressives consider to be entitled.
That, meaning, that merit is missing, and therefore durability and reliability . . . and truth . . . are missing.
That, meaning, that government and all of DEI, are “oriented” toward fleeing from every failure that is a consequence of progressives replacing merit with DEI.
Big Tech still a step ahead again.
