    You can do this but it makes them even more expensive, because you’ve built an expensive plant for operational capacity that you don’t use.

      Do you have a source on that? I can’t find anything supporting SMRs for peak use. How quickly can they come online? How much notice to take offline? How long to reach peak generation?
