Outstanding! Instead of 300MW coal or gas-fired plants in metro areas we could have clusters of these. The shorter transmission distance will mean less line-loss, the factory-built design means economies of scale, and the passive-cooling post-scram ability means that it would be impossible to have a Fukushima type of accident due to loss of primary loop cooling. If every city acquire enough of these to cover 80% of their base load then we could cut carbon emissions so fast we it would astonish us all.
Yeah. I'd note the need for a centralized fuel supplier, as you don't want hundreds of little municipal nuclear plants trying independently to dispose of the waste. Have a centralized "library" of nuclear fuel, where the plants "check out" the fuel and then turn it in when spent. The centralized authority can concentrate expertise on the issues of sourcing uranium, tracking where it is, then disposing of it safely. The small plants are then freed to focus on running the actual plant and providing reliable electricity to their cities.
