  And they have enough people to maintain and inspect the hundreds of thousands of reactors that are going to be built, if those small reactors work?

    The US has the most amount of data centers at ~5500. Not even anywhere close to hundreds of thousands.

    Well they don’t do any maintenance. And considering the plant only gets built if the NRC says so, I think they’ll manage. NRC doesn’t fuck around. It’s also not a good look to Trump’s base to deregulate nuclear safety; they’re historically the ones more worried about that.
