@scaggs thanks for creating this thread in order stop polluting the media thread. I wish i saw it earlier. Sorry for the long post to follow.
Sewell64 seems unwavering in his/her position, and the response pattern indicates they are not actually open to shifting perspective at this stage - just a rehashing of renew economy half story journalism to re-enforce a viewpoint. That may change, or it may not. I think we all have the same end-goal of a safe and sustainable world in mind - we just need to bring the semantics of the debate back to facts, rather than unsubstantiated opinion and bias.
For context around my current personal stance - My mother protested nuclear in the NT in the 70's and the original Qld chapter founder of Greenpeace is a friend of mine - I also have a school friend who worked at the Ranger mine and showed me around the mine a few years ago, and another friend who worked at a Uranium mine in SA and talked about the radiation testing policies they underwent regularly - so I have heard lots of opinions on the matter. I used to be very sceptical of what nuclear could do and mean for the world - I now shape my view that it is a necessary evil and that we humans have the ingenuity and the responsibility to wield it safely and sustainably (After doing a lot of future energy research including looking at the development path of supposedly safer Molten Salt Reactors).
From a macro perspective, the rest of the world is already shifting their perspective on Nuclear as part of an integrated "energy mix" that renewables alone just can't do - I don't think anyone has suggested it was ever going to be a Nuclear only future. Germany shuttered its nuclear reactors and is having to resort to bringing in dirtier gas from Russia to heat and power its industry during the winter - where as the UK is looking at more of a balance between offshore windfarms and Nuclear, as anyone how has lived abroad in the UK before can attest too, the summer lasts for about 7 weeks of sunshine, before you get accustomed to grey skies once more so solar is out.

This is an article from a well established publication with over 150yrs of editorial standards - not a left (renew economy) or right (skynews) leaning propaganda machine. It gives a pretty unbiased assessment of the current situation and the paper's mission statement is included below.
Australia already has a framework for the storage of radioactive waste and essentially chosen a site at Napandee/Kimba.

Regarding how long will it take to Validate SMR.... it's happening now.
SMR demonstration is already happening in Shandong province, China as of Sept/Nov 2021 - reaching criticality.
