Small reactors are a trend

On: Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor

The World Nuclear Association published a report on Small Nuclear Power Reactors in november 2007. The nuclear industry is eager to build much smaller reactors, because it's easier to find the initial capital. Once a small reactor has been built, it can start financing the construction of the second one, and so on. This modular approach (taken from solar panels and windmills) can result in a large energy output combined with a fast return on investment.
