SMR tech is accused of being untested paper dreams, but the Actuality is the reverse, modules of components are in the core of large Reactors 70 years in operation(?), and therefore objections to them are typical FUD against non volatile reliability, safety and long-term lower cost.
High start-up costs are in the past, ..thank you Mark Nelson for your extensive, detailed, good research.., same for Chris at Decouple.

Interesting and informative presentation.
For more pleasant viewing, I recommend 1.25-1.5x playback speed.

Does each individual ICS pool contain enough water to remove decay heat for 7 days? i.e. do you have 3x100% not only on the heat exchanger capacity but also on the water storage capacity? Otherwise how do you manage a common cause failure on the ultimate heat sink?

What's with the staccato sound? Annoying.

So much talk about hazards and safety levels. I am astounded that water reactors are still considered. You are blind to the simplest solutions of all, don't use any water at all in the reactor and the risk of expansive accidents go away. Build salt or lead reactors instead. Inert non boiling, non reactive heat transport makes, perhaps not all, but certainly most of the risks with nuclear reactors go away, making public acceptance so much easier. Open your minds.

Water reactors are well known and passive systems make them very safe. Salt and lead reactors are unproven. It takes decades.
