1. Build prototype

2. Iterate on prototype.

3. In conjunction start standardizing and automating processes.

4. Achieve large enough scale to amortize the factory and process optimization costs over enough units to actually gain anything.

The “SMR hype industry” seems to be perpetually stuck at 1, not even being able to deliver a single prototype.

All the while talking like the factory already exists and SMRs are solved.

Somehow it doesn’t add up.

I don't know, I'm not a specialist. But this came up by doing a rudimentary search.
