While this would not necessarily lead to a large, rapid release of radioactivity into the environment, it could result in a situation similar to that of Fukushima today, where damaged cores in the basements of the containment buildings continue to release radiation into the groundwater. How rapidly could this sequence of events begin?

Even casual followers of energy and climate issues have probably heard about the alleged wonders of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). The failure of these projects to come in on time and under budget undermines arguments that modern nuclear power plants can overcome the problems that have plagued the nuclear industry in the past.
