That would be good. Small Modular Reactors (SMR) can become the primary source of generation in a decade if we had a “man on the moon” type national priority program.
A general discussion on small reactors has been going on now for twenty years at least. Small thorium reactors was once the touchstone, now I’m not sure what invention leads the way.
