What are SMRs?

  1. SMRs are not more economical than large reactors.

  2. SMRs are not generally safer or more secure than large light-water reactors.

  3. SMRs will not reduce the problem of what to do with radioactive waste.

  4. SMRs cannot be counted on to provide reliable and resilient off-the-grid power for facilities, such as data centers, bitcoin mining, hydrogen or petrochemical production.

  5. SMRs do not use fuel more efficiently than large reactors.

    What kind of a moron are you? When you make claims you bring the proof.

    Or you know, I could assert that you’re, say, a donkey-fucker. If you got proof to the contrary, please provide it.

    I am not making claims. I shared an article on a matter that bugs me. I wanted to see what people think and potentially inform myself further.

    And your input was definitely invaluable!
