Above, short update on the small modular reactor concept.
Accurately points out that we don’t really have a working example to evaluate. And we won’t for several years, given the recent failure of the farthest-along SMR project, NuScale. Also rightly points out the cost hurdle for adopting nuclear.
It’s hard to build nuclear plants, as my Yale video pointed out a few years ago.
The FT video is just elementary fluff for the lay reader.
As Thunderf00t so often points out, so much advanced technology exists only in the form of graphic animation. (“Isn’t this cool?! Invest in this!”)
And to quote an engineering department head friend of mine: “Marketing is where the rubber meets the picture of the road.”
