Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I want a backyard SMR so bad.

That wouldn't be an SMR, as an SMR requires an output of at least 20 MW, which is significantly higher than any thing a single household would need.

A backyard reactor would be a Microreacter rather than an SMR. Though personally I think a single neighborhood/ward SMR might be better suited, even then, I think an actual Power Plant for a metropolitan area would be superior on fuel use per household powered.
