I'm skeptical that micro nuclear reactors will ever be economically viable (without subsidies) for grid scale power production. There are huge economies of scale in fission power once you account for labor costs, site security, and thermodynamic efficiency. Bigger is better.
Micro reactors are more suited to isolated areas disconnected from the grid.
