As far as I'm aware, there are no systems online that are walk away safe. There are several that are in testing, etc, but nothing that is being deployed.
NuScale is one system that is working on setting up their first plant, but nothing is online as far as I know.
They can supposedly shut down and cool down without any people, computers, power or water which is not true for what's currently being used.

You like the idea of being tied to a "pump"?
For my money, I'd rather the option of charging at home.
Sure, not everyone has that choice, but nothing is perfect.
And it's still cleaner to run an ev on coal than to run an individual ice car.
Not to mention, as you replace coal with cleaner options, you clean up every single EV in that chain.

And it's not walk away safe which is what it will take for me, personally, to support it.
If some natural disaster or massive pandemic takes out a large chunk of the population, I'd rather not have a bunch of nuclear power plants making large sections of the planet unsafe with no way for the average person to even be aware they are in danger.
You can safely walk/live near any solar/wind power plant without any need for a trained and qualified staff to safely shut it down in the event of some disaster.

The round pizzas tasted better and you'll never convince me otherwise.

>Wood can just shut his damn pie hole. There's no such thing as too much cheese!
At a place I took over 20 or so years ago on base with pizza on the menu the area manager wanted me to fire and hire a whole new staff after I was there a short time because he thought they were stealing/giving away food due to food costs being double what they should have been.
I created a spreadsheet that mapped out the exact amount of ingredients we should have gone through for each menu item and manually entered 6 months or so of sales.
Turned out they used a few too many hamburgers and hotdogs (as in a handful total over those months) and exactly double the shredded cheese and French fries because of wrong sized portion baskets and eyeballing.
Something that was the previous managers fault, not the staff.
New containers and a pizza scale solved the problem and I had a very loyal staff as they eventually found out what almost happened.
So while I generally agree, sometimes there really is such a thing as too much cheese 😄
