"Nuclear power is a very expensive way to generate electricity & the small modular reactor is even more expensive." "designer … says smaller reactors can overcome some of that cost disadvantage because they require less machinery …: water circulates through the reactor w/o powered pumps, emergency cooling functions use gravity & natural circulation … However … Darlington is the design's first deployment, [so] those projected savings haven't yet been seen in a commercially operating unit." 😡
