New Tech: trend, or hype? Does it follow the high cost/niche application to low cost/ubiquitous trend for technology growth rates? Here's solar as an example. Tesla's "Master Plan" follows this. It's why I'm skeptical of near-term SMR's that aren't on the moon/military ships.
Ship use is plenty niche, rare, expensive. Start there, no need to blast extremely expensive radioactive things into space before they've been tested in a stable environment ;)
Remote military installations on land are near the top of the list for likely installations if I'm making predictions.
