  50,000,000/35,000 works out to 1,428w per household? If so that’s just one 15amp outlet per household - a single toaster oven.
context: This is progress. I was beginning to believe that SMRs were going to be like Fusion Power - always 30 years from being a reality. 
  Now let's see one of them generating power for public consumption, so we can have a little more hope for our planet and ourselves. >
  
  Like other new technologies we'll probably use it for porn or sex first. >

  Sorry! But "reaction" sounds so similar to "erection" it pretty much just wrote itself. >
  
  Just for context here, 50 megawatts is enough to power between 35,000 and 50,000 average homes, depending on usage and need. (For example, homes running full electric instead of gas/electric will use more; homes where A/C is in more continuous use will use more; smaller homes and more efficient homes will use less.)
