That fact that people can't even agree on what SMRs even are tells you everything. You advocate that they are essentially the same thing as a regular power plant, others say they are small boxes that can be put at any neighborhood corner.

But everything because they are going to scale magically. Nobody ever explained how that scalability is supposed to happen. A large portion of any nuclear reactor is still a steam turbine, we have built lots of these without seeing prices fall exponentially (like solar) why should adding a couple (really a miniscule) number of SMRs suddenly fundamentally change the way their price scaling?

I might be wrong but I don't think anyone's seriously proposing on building these truly tiny reactors - I think every one of these is being built is powerplant sized.

SMRs identifying trait is that these reactors are prefabricated and transported onsite and do not have to be built in pace.
