That's the "small modular reactor" concept, under development by a few companies. I think that the concept has considerable merits. I hope that it will be tested in practice. I'm pretty bullish on renewables but nuclear power is very low emissions over its life cycle, safe enough (IMO), and nuclear construction capability should be (again IMO) maintained as a complement/alternative to renewable generation for the post-fossil era. For continued viability new nuclear construction needs lower, more predictable costs or steady long-term support from governments; I think that cost improvements would be the better of the two.

Sounds like a viable model, thanks!
