Another really important feature of the reactor is that we have built-in energy storage.

And this is going to be really important in the Mountain West, where you do have quite a bit of renewables that you have to balance out.

And built-in storage allows us to boost the energy output of the Natrium reactor throughout the day as the wind and the sun come and go, which is a limitation of renewables.

So Natrium is a great balance to that.

We're so excited to announce with the state of Utah and with flagship companies today, a memorandum of understanding to examine Utah sites for Natrium deployments.

So we'll be looking at multiple sites in Utah for their potential to host a Natrium reactor.

As Governor Cox mentioned, we're already in the state of Wyoming building our first reactor there.

So we're very happy to be in the Mountain West.

Yes, Joe, we could mobilize a site shortly after that because we've made a lot of progress with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in licensing that first plant in Wyoming.

Then we're looking at about a three-year construction duration for Natrium reactors, which is much shorter than today's technologies that require all of the steel and concrete.

So it's yet another reason for us to move forward with advanced technology

And I do want to point out we're not only supplying AI and important energy security demands in the U.S., but with leadership of people like Governor Cox, we're also saying if we can prove out this technology here today,

You know, we can then export the technology where, you know, nations that are hungry for electricity are inevitably going to be shopping for nuclear and we need to offer a U.S.

technology in competition with with Russia and China, who will be who will be peddling nuclear energy around the world.
