Makes sense. I’ve been advocating this very strategy: SMRs to produce distributed energy, reliably and safely. Reduce and simplify the grid as well as increase efficiency.

" the capacity to generate 470MW of power"

Cool! That'll make my Silver Ghost get up and go!

Along the theme of today’s ransom-ware that has plagued tens of thousands of companies’ computers worldwide...

I’m sure lots of Jokers out there will be trying to figure out how these units can be turned into a tool for their personal extortion/blackmail jackpot.

Seemed like a good idea up until the point that I discovered Lucas Electrics was involved.

Hey, if they produce the nuclear version of a Merlin Engine, that’d be stupendous!

Dang!
Got to save up for a Silver Rolls Phantom powered by a mini-nuke...
Or should that be a "size-disadvantaged " nuke?

This should have been done 30 years ago.

Talk to a Navy submariner who has lived in close proximity to a nuclear reactor for months on end with no problems.

The technology is far advanced from Chernobyl and TMI. Use it!!

one of its power stations would ... power approximately one million homes ... would have the capacity to generate 470MW of power


British homes only draw an average of 470 watts?
