What will be the total capacity of commercial, civilian nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) that will be online in the US on January 1, 2035, in gigawatts?
Reactors must be sending energy to the grid or an end user.
I'll defer somewhat to self-descriptions or convention as to what counts as an SMR. Probably means <400 MW but I'll see what people are saying in the future. But must be modular/factory-assembled.
Left bounds inclusive, right bounds exclusive.

Navy-designed reactors count as civilian if they are not directly deployed in a military context, as do any reactors used to power a "Manhattan Project for AI".
