SMR Passive Safety Essential

Made in a Factory with High Levels of QA:QC, experts all working in the same place, building SMR in sequential production like the way Boeing or Airbus builds jetliners or jet airplanes that carry passengers or stuff all around the world daily. 

Walk Away Automatic Convective Cooling Means No Melt Down Like Fukushima

Even if the power grid blacks out or goes offline, even if the SMR shuts down, even if there is a major damage to the SMR, it safely shuts down automatically, and the core cools off using a passive automatic convective cooling method based on physics that requires no pumps, no coolant, no power and no human interaction or control, just automatically cools off if there is a major problem of any kind. 

Up to 300 MW or about 1/3 the power output of conventional GW scale nuclear fission reactors. They are one of the most land efficient ways to make electricity 24/7 with excellent uptime and load following. 

SMR can be installed as clusters of small reactors to scale the power out to the utility companies requirements for municipal city level energy from tiny small towns to large metro areas, where coal power can be replaced with SMR clusters to clean up the electricity mix. Coal power is the dirtiest way to make electricity in terms of toxic pollution emitted. With nuclear all of the waste products are tightly controlled, valuable to breed or reprocess into new nuclear fuels or able to be turned into space probe RTG energetic core materials or isotopes used in medicine. 

SMR off price points and fast construction to online making power output to sell attractive to private equity, with excellent ROI faster. With respect to all the existing nuclear power plants, nearly all were custom made one off examples paid for by government funding, since they old big nuclear plants can take 10 to 20 years before they turn a profit. So no private equity was interesting in building traditional nuclear power plants before SMR's made nuclear affordable to even utility company customers in many maniple electric grid utility services, where most people buy their electricity from in the USA and elsewhere in the world.
