I can do a follow up episode on small modular reactors comparing some of the pros and cons of SMRs versus large reactors and what factors may favour either. I will also cover any other questions that may come up.

As for safety, that could possibly be a controversial subject and so probably not a good fit for HPR. There will be people who have strong politically based opinions either way, and I would like to stick to just explaining how the technology works and let other people in other forums address non-technical issues.

Loving this series. Maybe Whiskey Jack could give some cost comparisons between large and small reactors. He could also give us a realistic look at nuclear plant safety/accidents compared to conventional power production. Looking forward to the episode on FORTH generation reactors ;-)
