I think it's just worth saying that like nuclear really will be the cheapest energy source by far.
0:05
It's equivalent energy content to 2 million barrels of oil and gas.
0:17
for our technology, we're really trying to make these reactors as safe as a university research reactor.
0:23
So a lot of people, they don't realize there's around 30 nuclear reactors on university campuses.
0:31
And students walk by these things without even knowing they're there.
0:36
And The reason that is is because it has this special fuel called uranium zirconium hydride.

I think it's just worth
12:40
saying that like nuclear really will be the cheapest energy source by far when it was fully baked out.
2:29
Let's just sort of get up to speed here on that.
2:32
Yeah.
2:32
Yeah.
2:33
So the whole idea is we are mass manufacturing nuclear power plants, not just the reactor, but the whole plant.
2:42
And we're purpose building it to power AI data centers.
2:46
So I think some of the things that make us unique, we started around two and a half years ago, started hiring.
2:52
We were two people.

12:45
Yeah.

Are we back to science projects here? Is this brand-new, unproven technology, or is there really a way that's available today that we could get rid of those two hundred and fifty thousand metric tons of spent nuclear fuel waste that's sitting around in dry cask storage all around the world and get rid of it by actually making power from it?
18:42
So there, there definitely is a way, and again, coming back to EBR-II, the reactor we spoke about earlier, that was actually the first time we demonstrated what's called closing the, the fuel cycle.
18:55
Essentially, the way to think of this is as follows.
18:57
SoFirst of all, nuclear waste, the fears of nuclear waste were, were somewhat propaganda driven by, in large part, the oil and gas lobbyists in the '70s and '80s that created fear around something that really hasn't ever harmed anyone, was pretty easy to store, and there's tiny amounts of it.
19:14
You know, I, I have to be empathetic to fears of, of nuclear meltdowns and radiation, you know, causing relocations, and that's something we also can avoid through technology.
19:23
But the, the nuclear waste issue, I think, is almost entirely propaganda and not really at all technological.
19:29
Technologically, it's a solved issue from a safety perspective.

Do you think that that vision can ever be realized? And is it mass production that gets us from there, from here to there? And if not, what else do we need to worry about in order to achieve that vision?
