Original Note:
The article falsely implies that SMRs are doomed because one company in the US has suspended development. In fact, there are dozens of companies across the globe that are developing and manufacturing SMRs. As more SMRs open, the cost of SMRs will decrease. https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-power-reactors/small-nuclear-power-reactors.aspx https://www.statista.com/statistics/1334632/number-of-small-modular-reactor-projects-worldwide/ https://www.iaea.org/topics/small-modular-reactors https://c3newsmag.com/five-of-the-worlds-leading-small-modular-reactor-companies/
