I've often wondered why we're concentrating on huge nuclear power plants in the several GW range when the existing 800MW (ish) units we have were horribly difficult and costly to build, even back in the 1960s when everyone believed in them.
Why don't we look at deploying the sort of smallish (100MW-class) "sealed units" that are found on nuclear powered submarines or aircraft carriers? I'd imagine that the planning would be much simpler, and the technology seems to be fairly well proven.
I understand that they are looking at a much smaller-scale installation for the old Trawsfynydd site. It strikes me as an ideal candidate for a half dozen of these things...
