SMRs may well get more public acceptance over time as people realise they are overall way less intrusive.
SIte an SMR close to a major city and adjacent to a super grid node. That then removes a need for new pylon strings across the country side and grid upgrades. Depending on the exact final design an SMR may power 500k-1m homes. London East, London West, Southampton/Portsmouth, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester/Liverpool, Newcastle/Sunderland, Glasgow/Edinburgh, Cardiff/Swansea, Belfast - 10 SMRs.
