There’s been a lot of talk about SMR’s over the years, it’s nice to see one finally being built.
Even if it comes in over budget, getting the first one done will be a great learning experience and could lead to figuring out how to do future ones cheaper.
Assuming it’s on time, completion in 2029, connected to grid in 2030.
Oh sorry I googled CANDU to learn a bit more and saw that they were also made in a factory offsite.
I imagine that’s at least one of the reasons why its lower capacity per reactor. It can only be so big if built offsite.
So we had SMRs all along? I smell a grift. 😂
The CANDU still take a much larger space I guess due to the overall design. You can fit one of these SMRs in 10-15 acres.
