Ontario will be building an SMR near an existing large-scale nuclear facility. The promo mock-up picture of the SMR shows a Canada Post van driving right up.

This is a little absurd, given that the road going up to similar plants have a number of warning signs to turn around if you have no business going there. This includes a very ominous “last chance” sign, probably before paramilitary forces pull you over.

I ran into this situation recently when I naïvely went looking for the Nuclear Information Centre (a sort of nuclear mini-museum) that used to be near the gates of Darlington about 25-30 years ago.
