Yes. We've been hearing about small modular reactors for a long time. In 2001, for example, the U.S. Department of Energy put out a report in which they promised that some reactors were ready for commissioning by the end of the decade. That was 2010. Current estimates are that the earliest small modular reactors in the United States might be commissioned by 2029-30. That's 20 years past that deadline.
This has been the historical pattern. A new reactor design is very easy to conceive of on paper, but not when you try to translate that into a reactor design that can actually be constructed and that can answer all the questions that any good regulator will pose. What is the risk of this reactor having an accident in the event of a fire or in the event of an operator making a mistake or in the event of a flood? Those are very difficult questions.
