Korea's Doosan may begin supplying major components for the SMR by the second half of 2023. My reading of the article is that forging at Doosan actually is imminent, and will reach full scale production of the biggest components of Voygr next year. This it's-for-real news is most encouraging, as we have been hearing gunnabe stories about SMRs for years now. We still need to hear of progress towards cost-proving of their NOAK (Nth of a kind), which is needed before orders for this SMR can come flooding in from around the world. The hoped-for mass expansion will require a corresponding expansion in the number of operators available, or at least an expansion in the number of SMRs being operated by each team of operators. The current Voygr design puts the operators onsite in a control room that is only distanced from the reactors to reassure safety concerns. We need to hear that the control systems have been made largely autonomous and that most of the highly trained human operation can be done from many kilometres away, and over many more SMRs.

Roger Clifton —- The NuScale Voygr reactors are controlled by specialized FPGA controllers, not computers, and hardwired to the reactor being controlled. This is for security reasons as then nobody can attempt to manipulate the reactor operation.
The staffing is minimized by having just small reactors so there is no staff maintaining an off-site radiation spill evacuation plan. Even a worse case incident cannot result in radiation outside the plant boundaries. In addition, the biyearly r&r of each reactor can be done by the regular personnel, so no temporaries need to be hired for these operations.

RC-- Yes, "may begin" should more accurately be " is expected to begin". This commitment to start production is, as you say, welcome news.
