Talk is cheap. Commercial SMRs are not. As I stated already, there are no commercial production SMRs. There very likely never will be either. Any and all are just research projects. Just more government welfare for the MIC.

There are no fully operational commercial SMRs generating grid electricity.

Key Points:

Russia: Akademik Lomonosov is operational but not mass-produced or grid-connected in the traditional sense.

China: HTR‑PM is a demonstration unit, not a commercial SMR deployment.

USA & Europe: Projects like NuScale, BWRX‑300, X‑energy, and Rolls‑Royce are still in development.

IEA and other authorities project commercial SMRs around 2030, not now.
