You sort of have to pick it apart a bit.
So, like, you know, nuclear has actually been one of the things that's been a bit unique in the history of manufacturing and industrialization, and that it got more expensive.
But it got more expensive because we understood the risks, we understood what the impacts were.
We layered on uh the necessary controls so that we could manage that technology safely.
It was actually on a cost curve of coming down and then
Reverse because of that.
In addition, the projects got really big and they got really one-off, and we stopped building them.
And so that meant that the experience didn't roll over.
Like atrophy.
Exactly.
If you had to like build a car just once every 10 years, like that car would be really expensive.
And so that's a sort of unique thing that happened in nuclear fission.
Now we think that in fusion, as you build the map,
that won't happen.
The regulatory case is much, much simpler.
The the hazard base is much, much more compact.
