GE/Hitachi already has a commercial unit. It takes up an area about the size of a soccer field.
Powers about 300,000 homes so you'd need about 7 in Sydney. In the country, could locate at current Solar or Wind Farm sites.
Construction time 2-3 years, deployable from 2029.
Design life 60 years.
Refuel 12-24 months.
Cost? not quoted, but the Dept of Energy reckons about $378 bill for 71 SMRs.
Possible theoretically, but not politically...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
