I asked Bard.Google is this correct?
There is no commercial SMR operating anywhere in the world. There are two demonstration plants: one floating around on a barge in Russia and one in China.
Bard's answer: mostly correct. As of today, January 12, 2024,
there are indeed no commercially operating SMRs in the world. However, your statement about demonstration plants needs a slight clarification.
Russia: The Akademik Lomonosov, the world's first floating nuclear power plant, began operating in May 2020. It utilizes two 35 MW(e) reactor modules, which can be considered SMRs due to their size and modularity. However, it's important to note that the Akademik Lomonosov itself is not classified as a single SMR, but rather a mobile nuclear power plant equipped with SMR modules.
China: There are currently two high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) demonstration plants under construction in China, each with a planned capacity of 200 MW(e). These are indeed SMR designs, but they are not yet operational.
Therefore, while there are no full-fledged commercial SMRs operating anywhere yet, there are operational SMR modules in the Akademik Lomonosov and SMR demonstration plants under construction in China.
