No. I am saying that if you don't have a plan to restructure markets and industry such that the conditions are consistent with those in every other place that has ever done this successfully, you shouldn't expect success. The Trump admins strategy as far as I can tell at this point, is to try to get the Koreans or Japanese to take on risk that the US federal government, Westinghouse, and US utilities won't take on. This is a problem of institutions, market structures, and incentives. Unless you fix that, LLWR are a dead letter in the US. SMR's are in fact a reasonable work around for the liberalized electricity markets, privatized utilities, and decentralized economy that actually exist in the United States. Maybe they won't work. Maybe they will. But until you change those institutional and structural realities on the ground, they are likely the only way forward in the US.

I think this is far too harsh on the Trump admin A GE-Hitachi ABWR would not be foak. Maybe in America but it remains the most serious alternative to an ap1000 and has a far better track record in terms of constructability. Still holds record for fastest llwr build ever

Obviously Norway is blessed with vast hydro resources and LCOE is a flawed and insufficient metric for measuring the value of different energy sources but interesting to see how a LLWR compares to offshore wind or SMRs. Would be nice to see what a full system cost estimate looks like for each of these.

Duke Energy, which operates the country's largest regulated nuclear fleet, just filed a new resource plan that pushes earliest nuclear reactor online date to 2036, maintains optionality on SMR vs. LLWR, adopts a 2nd-mover approach, and states that additional cost overrun protection is needed: "support will be required in the form of cost overrun protection, which currently does not exist, or other cost mitigation measures... the first and second movers for the next advanced reactor projects will be assuming construction risks and therefore will need some form of insurance to protect customers." duke-energy.com/-/media/pdfs…

Ugh… this is always my worry when tracking t-storms even in the lLwr Mainland… Looks like one of the lightning strikes. I may even witnessed has started a forest fire on Dewdney Mtn near Mission BC. Hopefully the heavy rain helps slow the spread. #BCwx #BCstorm #BCwildfire

Yes, but let's make that SMR an LLWR instead... pleasehttps://osf.io/preprints/osf/rptb7_v1

That was an unfair characterization. My apologies. My sense is that you have become increasingly skeptical of SMR and have found ways to make that clear. And I have no problem with the skepticism but its not what will get AP1000s built. Convincing PUCs in regulated markets to rate base large reactors in 1/3 or so of US electicity where that is possible and reregulation of liberalized markets are what would be required and what I see is a lot more enthusiasm from LLWR advocates to be skeptical about SMR than to roll up there sleeves and do either of the latter.

Then there is the AD grid. The IAF has ordered >30 Aslesha LLWR, 37 Rohini LLTR, 8 Arudhra MPR,all are for it's AD grid, 3x Netra Mk1. IA has ordered >20 TCR, and has ADTCR in RFP, to receive a 2 veh. version. IAF has also ordered 66 flights of Sudarshan CIWS from L&T. (2)

The most hazardous nuclear waste in England and Wales will ultimately be disposed of deep underground in a facility that safely isolates it. Until then, it is stored at Sellafield Most Low Level Waste (LLW) from across the UK has been disposed at the (LLWR) in Cumbria since 1959.

But putting that genie back in the bottle in state's that have already liberalized is an extremely heavy lift. And without that, LLWR are simply a non-starter.
