These control rods will drop down on the fuel rods because of gravity. On the other hand, the reactor's valves can dump hear through the steel exterior, which is submerged in the cooling pool, by releasing the pressurized water loop into the vacuum inside its thermos-like double-wall design.
Another benefit of the small modular design is that it only has a small amount of heat since each unit holds a smaller amount of radioactive fuel.
