SMR is a term that gets thrown out a lot and can mean a lot of different things because there are a lot of different designs. Yes, some designs do not allow for in-situ refueling. Some do.

"The communication devices were reportedly found in power inverters, which are used to connect solar panels and wind turbines to the power grid and are often produced in China. They are also found in electric vehicle chargers, batteries and heat pumps. Undocumented cellular radios were also found in Chinese-manufactured batteries, according to the publication."

The combined annual revenue of the hundreds of nonprofits known to be opposed to nuclear power exceeds $2.5 billion. This formidable opposition has 4,100 percent more annual revenue than the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry-sponsored nonprofit that promotes nuclear power development.
I'll tell you what they are opposed to, humanity flourishing.
