    Ok two things not good about this source:
    1.) It's an article by a law firm
    2.) It uses the Russian floating SMR as a case point

    This extract from Reneweconomy sums the Russian SMR up pretty well:
    "Russia’s floating nuclear plant is said to be the only operational SMR in the world, although it doesn’t fit the ‘modular’ definition of serial factory production.

    A 2016 OECD Nuclear Energy Agency report said that electricity produced by the Russian floating plant is expected to cost about US$200 (A$273) / MWh, about four times higher than the target range cited by the MCA and more expensive than power from large reactors (US$129-198 / MWh).

    Completion of Russia’s floating plant was nine years behind schedule and construction costs increased six-fold."
