Directive No. 3. Pitfalls of Scale: A Critical Audit of the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Concept.

Today we have decided to publish one of our developments that has been kept within a closed loop. This is "Directive No. 3. Scale Traps: A Critical Audit of the Small Modular Reactor (MMR) Concept" developed by us earlier as part of the Doctrine of Nuclear Sociology.  
According to our view, Nuclear Sociology is a system of architectural design of society in the region of the presence of a nuclear power plant, based on exploiting basic human instincts (survival, greed, pride, envy) with the aim of creating a sustainable social consensus capable of protecting the atomic project throughout its life cycle (100+ years).
Nuclear Sociology does not operate with the terms "informing" or "persuasion." It operates with the terms "institutionalization of loyalty," "monetization of fear," and "managed social shift." We design society in exactly the same way as engineers design the reactor's active zone: we calculate chain reactions of opinions, install protest dampers, and bring the system to a controllable level of constructive power.
The development of the Doctrine of Nuclear Sociology is an example of an ambitious socio-engineering project of the decade. It explains how to turn a technological challenge into a national triumph.
Why we did this. Time relentlessly flows, and the decision on which technology to choose, which Serbian society will have to choose, is drawing ever closer. By publishing this work we want to acquaint our readers and all people indifferent to atomic topics with some specific assessments of the concept of Small Modular Reactors. This is not purely technical aspects of the decision to place MMR on Serbia's territory, but no less, and perhaps more important socio-political and public consequences of such a decision.
From our point of view, decisions regarding the export of small modular construction technologies are at least premature, and at most may cause negative consequences for countries that decide to host such nuclear power plants on their territory.
Right now Serbia is subjected to colossal marketing pressure aimed at imposing the concept of Small Modular Reactors (MMR). 
Serbia's Nuclear Sociology must become the icebreaker that will break this illusion. We demonstrate that MMR breaks the principle of the proportionality of benefits: a small station generates the same fear, but cannot pay for the "shining shadow" (taxes, roads, jobs). Serbia needs a scale capable of transforming the nation, not a surrogate that underscores technological dependence.
