@haritulsidas Nuclear’s challenge has always been its inability to scale down cost effectively. Projects are large, complex and expensive. Politically this is more problematic than land use. Newer #SMRs like molten salt might help but regulatory process to get them approved and built is slow.

Well, it's a funny old world.

First of all, years ago #BritishRail took out a worldwide patent for a #nuclear flying saucer that can carry 22 people in it's cabin (😂, btw!) , and NOW the government (UK Space Agency!) sign a contract with #RollsRoyce to develop a #nuclear reactor for a #moonbase

And in the last six months, I've encountered three people (2 designers, and one safety inspector) actively designing #SMRs locally.

It's all going on in #Derby these days. Move over #Houston.
