And there are other safeguards built around the coolant in the reactor itself.
The rods will fall automatically if power is lost.

Decent pr page
https://www.nuscalepower.com/technology/technology-overview I was doing some reading a few days ago and it showed it at a large scale plant which included it needed to be immersed in a pool of coolant. Can't find that now. |

I saw that, or one like it
The point was that site selection, design and prep becomes lots easier, then you truck in the pre-built reactors (plural) and set them up in the pool. Some existing generator sites could be converted, reusing the existing distribution infrastructure. -- Drew |

I like the safety design of the cooling issues, lose power motor quits holding up
