“Cheaper and faster” are concerning adjectives to be using for nuclear reactors… while well-regulated nuclear power is better than a lot of alternatives, trying to drive more and more adoption by lowering the bar seems overly risky.
Anything relying on stable conditions should be carefully implemented, if at all, in the current unstable climate which will only get more unpredictable.

The point of smaller reactors is that they could be much safer and cheaper to deploy. They’re intended to be entirely self contained.
