SMR I - Announcement of Small Modular Reactor Series

A month ago I asked a question in LinkedIn: 

I am thinking about trying to write a series of posts on SMR, am I wasting my time or do some people want information?

I had double my normal likes in 24 hours, so I wrote a series of twelve daily articles and am now going to share them on Energy Central.

Here is a categorization I will be using for the 90+ companies talking about "their" SMR.
  • Micro Reactor - 20 Megawatts or less
  • Small Reactor - 20 to 300 Megawatts
  • Medium Reactor - 300 to 700 Megawatts
  • Standard Size Reactor - 700 Megawatts or larger

Currently the media does not seem to differentiate by size and there are advantages to the reactors that are 30-300 MW.
