Where did you get that from?

small-modular-reactors.org/smr-cost-estimates/ suggests the opposite:

$2,000 to $6,000 per kilowatt for SMR vs $4,000 to $9,000 per kiliwatt for large scale ones.

Plus they don’t take 10+ years to build, and each one is not a bespoke construction leading to better scalability as the more you can build the cheaper things become.
