Governments and private companies continue to invest heavily in small modular reactors despite delays, licensing challenges, fuel supply constraints, and slower-than-expected commercial deployment.
The turbine is about equally difficult to make as the reactor, it doesn’t make sense to waste one on a reactor that can’t max it out. Small modular reactors work great for boats though, where size is a bigger factor, and the Navy is actually pretty good at making them.
