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?

Yeah.

Like, blink, blink, blink?

Yeah, so that's what happens to the water.

So maybe we should take our second break here and talk about a bit of a brighter future with ideas for recycling and more right after this.

Yeah, like you can recycle this stuff.

Yeah, Oklo says they can recycle and reuse 94% of uranium in those spent fuel assemblies, and they're just one of 10 companies.

I think they got a license from the Department of Energy to build a recycling plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Shout out to the boys.

Sure.
