Powering the Moonbase ft. Tyler Bernstein (Zeno Power)

Absolutely.

So I'm Tyler Bernstein, co-founder and CEO of Xenopower.

And we are building nuclear batteries or radioisotope power systems.

So there's obviously an incredible amount of excitement in the nuclear industry right now.

Fission, fusion, our friends at Antares turning on a reactor, going to see multiple others over the next few weeks.

We are working on a different technology that is not fission-based, but again, using radioisotopes.

So the passive decay of material that decays over long half-lifes.

You can convert the heat from this decay into electricity.

The end result, they're small boxes the size of a standard microwave oven to generate electricity for years at a time.

Smaller power than fission reactors, but small compact transportable power for use in the frontiers from the deep sea to deep space where you're seeing massive investments in the wake of new power competition, new commercial activity, and the need for power to power the thousands of nodes we see on the seabed for sensing, communication, autonomy, new industries from deep sea mining to protecting seabed cables, opportunities in space with the Space Force and Golden Dome.

And since we last talked, NASA's new plan to build a permanent base on the moon that has explicit calls for our technology.

So we're riding a lot of the same exciting times and tailwinds of the broader industry, but with a different technology that we're looking to We'll get to really industrialize the production of over the next year to broadly serve the customers that we see today and coming in the future from the deep sea to deep space and government to commercial industries.
