I was a nuclear technician in the Navy. I have long been in favor of this type of approach

Having factory built reactors that are identical would not only lower their cost, but would improve the operations.

There are additional efficiency gains by putting small reactors closer to the point of use and not being so dependent on long distance transmission lines. Transmission lines have more loss that most people realize.

NIMBY’s in my region fight against new transmission lines as much as the building of new power plants.
