I think it was a huge mistake for nuscale to pursue such a large reactor project as it doesnt play to the strengths of SMRs. rather they should pursue a smaller more numerous reactor design for industrial power and heat needs and remote power needs.
the goal should be paving a way for a mass-produced mass accepted reactor whose economics …

it does not make sense to launch yourself into a market in which nuclear is already struggling to cope with cheap gas and market breaking renewables.
I would look to see if the same regulation will apply to the dow chemical x energy SMR plan - there would be some illogic in saying well the smr needs concrete shielding because terrorism but the massive chemical plant producing whatever toxic substance needs none. it would really point to the illogical nature of the regulation if that was the case.

I think it came out of the aircraft impact rule. If you needed this expensive shell, it’s only economical to stick a bunch of modules in it.
