And that's what we do with that stuff.

And I mentioned decommissioning entire nuclear power plants and reactors.

That's something that you have to do because, like I said, these things, you can't just keep tightening the bolts on these and expect it to keep running.

I think, in fact, in the United States, 60 years is like the maximum limit before they say, shut this thing down.

Yeah.

And there's that water in the pools.

Like, let's say you finally get all of them out of the pool and in dry cask.

Then you got a big pool of, I imagine, very soothing nuclear water that was used as a coolant.

And you got to do something with that and what we do with it.

And I guess, you know, what's basically done with it all over the world is it's cleaned and then...

dumped into a waterway, an ocean or a river or a lake.

And most of these plants are by a body of water for this reason.

And, you know, we'll talk a little bit about how this is done, the two main processes, but I'm not like a conspiracy guy or hugely cynical, but I just don't see how that water could ever be good enough to dump into an ocean or a lake.

Yeah, I mean, if I don't mention the three-eyed fish on The Simpsons, we're going to get emails.

I guess that we have to mention that, right?

You bet, man.

Did that fish have a name?

Blinky, I think.

Oh, really?

Didn't it blink in sequence?
