SMR

Small modular reactors (SMR) are sent from the manufacturing plant directly to the use site by semi truck. Since they are on site they do not require transmission lines and they do not put a strain on the grid. The standard power size is 100 megawatts and units are added as needed. A auto production plant producing 1,000 cars per day would need 300 megawatts (3 units) and these could be installed on site as the plant is being built. No transmission lines to the plant and no addition stress on the grid. They could be owned and operated by the manufacturer and the power is then sold to the user.
