Every article that is supposed to be favorable towards Nuclear Power is the same. Studies, opinions and ideas showing the benefit followed by wacko Anti-Nuke establishments mentioning TMI, Chernobyl, Fukushima and how dangerous SMR's are because its a "new" technology..... when in fact they are actually designed to squash this fearmongering about core meltdowns. Those same Anti-Nuke establishments will then go off about how the world is going to end because of climate change in another article.

That is sad that the article dumps in all the largely unrelated radiological stuff like UMTRA waste ponds into the conversation for small modular reactors.  The insane population growth along the front range will push some changes with the increasing smog.  They're already running out of water.
