We need 'em!
Small modular reactors are not new. They've largely been ignored by the 'States since they pioneered the technologies but are now being built, also here in Canada, and -we hope soon- everywhere - there will be rapid growth of this technology, and manufactured locally as this article suggests for the UK. Safe nuclear power will be necessary to supplement renewables if we want Home Sapiens and our supporting cast of animals and plants to survive our unhappy fossil fuel age. This article doesn't say as much (I can't seem to scroll back), but if they use the IMSR technology we are talking about burning up nuclear waste from the older plants too! Clean, safe, necessary.
