The reports suggest that SMRs are just around the corner and will be up and running in the 2030s. However, the reality is more uncertain.
More than 90 separate designs for SMRs are being marketed across the world, and while this indicates interest, none have been tested or built.
There is a credibility gap regarding SMRs: prototypes have not been built, safety checks haven't begun, and costs are often optimistic estimates.
While huge investments are flowing into SMR development, it may be wiser to focus on building and expanding proven renewable energy sources.
