Small Modular Reactors: Game changer or more of the same?🧐 #PolicyBrief
"SMRs r presented, not only by #nuclear #industry, but also by #media & #government, as established, proven, commercial products.. Te perception tt #SMRs r being built in large numbers is untrue & te claims made for them in terms of, for eg., cost, #safety & waste are at best #unproven & at worst false.. image of them being smaller than existing #reactors is incorrect. IAEA’s size range is arbitrary"🤦‍♂️

Would one insist on developing more #nuclear power plants after watching this & hearing what the #Fukushima Daiichi NPP's on-site chief Yoshida had to say about the 2011 meltdown ordeals?
P.S. Yoshida suffered from #cancer & died about a year after this interview. RIP🙏
