@RubyRhod No, SMR is being used to describe a specific type of scaled down reactor that uses the latest technologies. They are all meltdown-proof, secure, use little radioactive material, fit in approximately the size of a 40ft connex or smaller. etc.
This category of reactors is the future, as much as nuclear naysayers deny it. It is the only viable large scale solution. Solar and wind have all sorts of issues, and SMR nuclear can be used to convert existing coal and natural gas power plants, bring more decentralized power to more targeted areas, etc.
They are safe, can be mass produced, don't take years to make, and can be installed anywhere, and can run on existing piles of radioactive waste, thus reducing the already miniscule stockpiles of waste we've created even more.
I'd volunteer to have one installed in my backyard to power my community if they would let me.

P-47N is the only variant of the P-47 that is a contender for the list of best fighters of WW2 in my opinion. The P-51, F4U, Ta 152, Sea Fury (maybe?) and others were far superior overall and most outlasted the P-47 in service. P-47 was tough (many stories demonstrating legendary toughness), and good at high altitude, good in a dive.....but there were too many airplanes that were better overall for me to even put it on the top 10 list if judged objectively. Objectively, the F4U seems to be the all-around best fighter, and it took me some time to accept that myself. The F4U was a great dive bomber, fast, maneuverable, tough, had a 4,000 lb bomb load, could fly off carriers, outlasted many other fighters such as the P-47, P-38, F8F Bearcat, F6F Hellcat, etc.
