NPPs that small are a nonstarter, due to loss of economies of scale. Even SMRs are creeping up in size now to try to recapture the economies of traditional gigawatt power plants.
There are two different economies of scale at play here; but if that's the case, I can accept things that are bigger than a train container. Even if we decide that they still have to be just as big as existing reactors, the key thing here is that nobody should start the new wave of nuclear by building a nuclear plant. You have to start it by building factories that produce nuclear plants themselves as a commodity item.
Haven't we learned that already in devops? A nuclear reactor today is a big hand-bombed snowflake. I want nukes-as-code.
