The Brit startups running with SMRs

If the government is hoping for a prosperous export market for SMRs, it will face a variety of hurdles. First, a total of nine countries are currently involved in SMR development, including newcomers such as Argentina. Secondly, there are no current licensing standards. The World Nuclear Association stated: "Design certification, construction and operation licence costs are not necessarily less than for large reactors, placing a major burden on developers and proponents."

It added that several developers had utilised the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's pre-licensing Vendor Design Review process, which, in Phase 1, involved 5,000 hours of staff time – an expensive process. And yet, and almost unknown to the public, a number of remarkable SMR projects have started in the UK.

Did not know even Argentina is doing nuclear as well. Canada, CANDU  nuclear plant has been talked about before. Again, as stated before section 140A of the commonwealth environment and biodiversity act of 1999 prevents ministers from giving any approval to anything "nuclear". 

PS: TLS will do well to "reduce" their energy consumption. In fact, the whole country should look at nuclear as an alternative for a carbon free future.
