Agreed, they hopefully fixed that particular issue.
However, it is prudent to expect other problems in new technology. And nuclear reactors need a huge initial investment (they seem to be vastly over budget and time these days) and take a long time until they are available. It seems to be cheaper, safer and faster to go with renewables, doesn't it?
These are reactors small enough to build in factories. That's an entirely different situation from occasionally custom building huge reactors on site.
For now, we should certainly keep rolling out wind and solar as fast as we can. But whether they can run entire countries reliably through all seasons is unproven so far. They're backed up everywhere by hydro where available, otherwise fossil. It's entirely possible that mass-produced passively-safe nuclear will end up cheaper and faster than the vast amount of storage/transmission/etc we'd need for a 100% wind/solar grid.
