From the post:

>The small modular reactor has been the nuclear industry’s favorite slide for about a decade. Utilities pitch it, governments model it, conference panels argue about it, and for years that was as far as it got in the Western world: a promising design nobody had actually built at the scale of a power grid. Then this spring, a crane in Ontario lowered a 953-tonne slab of steel and concrete into a shaft 35 meters deep and quietly ended the talking phase.

300mw am I right?

TO THE AI GOYSLOP MAN!

Natural gas combined-cycle plants (the dominant new-build type) are commonly 500–800 MW. Many newer facilities are around 600 MW

Or double the output. Now I still like the redundancy of micro nukes, but I had ai run the numbers a week or so ago, and micro nukes payback is at about 50 years, gas fired or coal/gas is like 7 years if I remember correctly
