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.
And they're one of 10 companies that the Department of Energy selected as part of their reactor pilot program to build these new reactors that can be powered by recycled uranium.
So that seems like a great way forward.
One of the concerns here is that...
There is a security risk, even though that stuff is, again, like you said, spent.
If you can recycle it to use, again, even in that small quantity of unspent-ness, you could also make a dirty bomb or something for that.
So it needs to be pretty locked down.
I mean, they could fix that, though.
Well, I feel like it probably have to be in working in concert with the government and not just saying like, all right, Oklo, you got your security team.
I see those people with the black the black eyes on.
It's all good.
