The one thing I still wonder is whether SMRs could create a security nightmare.
Every nuclear power plant is a fantastic target for terrorists. Transports of nuclear waste are a fantastic target, too.
I read once that the UK has many nuclear waste trains driving all the time, most of them empty, just to make it hard to guess which one to hit. (I assume other western countries have the same system). That kind of security doesn’t scale well.

How do you protect infrastructure with many SMRs?
