Hello @AirbusFlieger and welcome from Dumfries.

I've been following the fusion news, I'm actually more surprised there isn't more news about SMR's (Small Modular Reactors). That was the latest 'thing' in energy production development when I retired in 2017.

Small Nuclear Power Reactors - World Nuclear Association

There is revival of interest in small and simpler units for generating electricity from nuclear power, and for process heat. This interest in smaller nuclear power reactors is driven both by a desire to reduce the impact of capital costs and to provide power away from large grid systems.

They plan on building one on the Clinched River in Tennessee. BUT it's only to see if it's cost effective to build more. It won't ever go online. If TVA sees that it's worth it they will do 20 of them. So they say. It's TVA so you can't believe anything they say.
