The UK's Small Modular Reactor Competition
I suggested this years ago, using designs originally intended for submarines
and ships.
Wheels reinvented while you wait.

Let's talk about something other than Brexit and the gay club shootings.
The UK's Small Modular Reactor Competition
"The UK government has launched a competition to select a design of a
small modular reactor (SMR) for future deployment in the UK. The idea
behind SMRs is that they can be factory built and stamped out like
aircraft and transported to location on the back of a truck. With
thirty-three companies / designs on the shortlist, this looks like the
process could take a while to complete"

An interesting read. The idea of lots of small reactors distributed
widely is appealing. It gives redundancy, means that spares for only
one type of reactor needs to be held, and training is simplified.
