I suggest to EVERYONE who watches this get some perspective. There's a long presentation by Tom Peacock, Component Lead, Steam Generator & Heat Exchangers, Rolls-Royce SMR posted by Cambridge Society for the Application of Research and posted here on RUclips 1 Dec 2022. He goes over EVERYTHING and its worth watching if you're a tech geek and I am an aerospace engineer. *HOWEVER* he also says quite clearly that they wont be available until at least 2035. That's the bit of perspective that people need to understand. Yes its very likely that SMRs will be fantastic and deliver as claimed, *BUT THEY ARE NOT HERE YET AND WONT BE FOR SOME TIME.* Meanwhile we have to deal with the facts that many developed nations now have failing energy sectors because we have some many old worn out power stations and its NOT because engineers haven't been trying to warn people. *It just doesn't make very good media to have a boring engineer warn you about how old the local power station is failing.*

Lots of small reactors will produce lots of nice little radioactive waste packages. How will the safe disposal and storage of these many radioactive waste packages be handled and controlled?

This is all concept stuff. No investment, manufacturing announcements or projected delivery dates as yet. Depressingly slow progress. The UK is being left behind.
A doff of the hat to the RR team for getting the job done. SMR are affordable, safe energy security. This is the Trent moment all over again. Go RR
Love it. Rolls Royce is leading the way!

Get RR SMRs chosen!

how much MW are we talking here?
About 470MWe..
This is incredible. Make them for ships and you cut carbon emissions 1/3

Depressingly slow progress.
The UK is being left behind.
The blame lies firmly with our useless government and its snail-like progress in ordering their construction.
