US firm agrees to sell 24 mini nuclear reactors to UK customers 

CT.org has long supported the use of Small Modular [Nuclear] Reactors, SMRs, as supplements to primary energy systems based on wind and solar power. SMRs are smaller [read cheaper], 24/7 regardless of weather and daylight, produced in a factory to better control quality, replicable in that each SMR is not a one-off and more maintainable since parts, processes and refurbishments are not idiosyncratic inventions. They are not THE answer; they are part of the answer.
