A big consideration is grid structure, it's very expensive to create power distribution from generators into the infrastructure. There already exists grid infrastructure at old reactor sites, so I think it's very likely that they would be ideal candidates for SMR deployment.

Some fraction of existing coal and LNG sites, and their existing infrastructure, are also feasible. Larger sites are often quite distant from populations and have large perimeters.
