I just wondered, how important do you think it is from the finance side of things?
7:11
Yeah, I mean, let me start off by saying Lola captured it in one statement, which is the challenge for nuclear power really is as much on the capital side of things as it is on the technical side of things.
7:21
So we hear a lot about how nuclear power needs to get standardized, and the financing is a core element of that.
7:27
There is going to be no project without the financing to support it.

And so I think the WNA has done a phenomenal job of, and a very brave task, in fact, of pulling together people who act and advise across multiple jurisdictions, across multiple technology classes, because you really need that collaboration if we're going to meet the urgency of demand that is there on the capital side of things.
7:52
So look, we, we've been through the process.
7:54
Obviously, a lot of views and perspectives need to come together to address a capital challenge of this scale.

Is there a lot of evidence of investors wanting to get into the sector? And what sort of things have been holding them back, and how do you think the guide is gonna help?
