No experience of Korean nuclear engineering myself, but I was talking
to a senior manager from Horizon the other day, and he said that of
all the overseas suppliers had had been dealing with, he had been most
impressed by the Koreans.


I prefer this approach. Factory built - standardised...............

There's a lot to be said for it. But you really need to get
international agreement on licensing. Imagine if every country had a
different approach to regulating aircraft.

It will be interesting to see if the government funding for SMRs
actually leads to anything. One of the problems is that SMRs could be
really good for smaller and developing countries, but it's only a few
large industrialised countries which are building nuclear plants, and
then the economies of scale of larger plant kick in. South Africa
started making a good case for the PBMR nearly 20 years ago, but it got
nowhere.
