It’s not too distant a dream, the Rolls Royce small modular reactor designs have just been submitted for approval:

I'm betting they don't get approved.

Anyway not for longer than hoped. And, if approved, not built anytime soon, as the cost will still be much more than for renewable + storage, at that time. Those latter costs are falling faster than ever.

Exactly. I heard these modular ones are meant to be cheaper, but they also produce 10x less. Can easily be replaced by a wind farm.
