So, it appears the first SMR project in the US was scrapped due to rising costs.

An Aussie SMR would take 10-15 years before even being online and we'd be the guinea pigs.

Perhaps it's time to pivot to technology already available and that can be implemented in the short term?

Are there any working now?

How long to build one?

How long before one could be up and running and adding to our power supply?

Construction to begin in 2025 is Wyoming. It's not expected to be operational this decade.
