Exactly what the "small modular" concept is all about. Most are designed to fit in a standard shipping container, be trucked to the site, and offloaded into a pre-prepped modular receptacle.

I am wholly enthusiastic about this kind of thing...I have been a proponent of pebble bed reactors, because I believe they are safe and scalable...they could be used for municipal power plants for small towns, etc.

And because it could be placed closer to where the energy is used by consumers and industry, there is less energy waste that is inherent in sending electricity over the high voltage power lines long distances.

My analysis of that technology tells me it is completely feasible.

I think we are of a like mind on this.
