Rolls-Royce SMR... A radically different approach to nuclear power 

I suggest to EVERYONE who watches this get some perspective. There's a long presentation by Tom Peacock, Component Lead, Steam Generator & Heat Exchangers, Rolls-Royce SMR posted by Cambridge Society for the Application of Research and posted here on RU-vid 1 Dec 2022. He goes over EVERYTHING and its worth watching if you're a tech geek and I am an aerospace engineer. *HOWEVER* he also says quite clearly that they wont be available until at least 2035. That's the bit of perspective that people need to understand. Yes its very likely that SMRs will be fantastic and deliver as claimed, *BUT THEY ARE NOT HERE YET AND WONT BE FOR SOME TIME.* Meanwhile we have to deal with the facts that many developed nations now have failing energy sectors because we have some many old worn out power stations and its NOT because engineers haven't been trying to warn people. *It just doesn't make very good media to have a boring engineer warn you about how old the local power station is failing.*
