Modern nuclear reactors used to be huge, but that’s outdated now. The revolution in small modular reactors promises to change all that.

Current modern nuclear reactors getting built are huge.

Maybe, perhaps, in the next decade or two we'll see small(er) reactors, but this isn't a new idea and hasn't worked out it practice before.

in what, another decade or more before they actually get made at scale? they'll be irrelevant by then outside of niche applications.
