1. I'm encouraged that more elected officials are supportive.

I met with a US Congressman who expressed sincere interest in SMRs and wondered if they are ready for prime time.

I mentioned that I love the idea of smaller-scale systems that can support microgrids and provide resiliency as distributed generation elements but wasn't able to give a very clear answer, I just said that yes, I think we will see pilot projects soon, that some are even coming online (without being able over lunch to name names and places).

Incidentally, I took my fourth or fifth tour of the Diablo Canyon facility, it never fails to impress when you stand on the turbine deck knowing that 1/10 of the state's generation comes from those two generators.

Trusting you as a source, what would you tell a Congressman if asked how soon might we see Small Modular Reactors going online, and what other types of reactors are on the near horizon?

Thanks!
