From a physics perspective.

From a physics perspective.

You can't run away like it did at Chernobyl, which was basically human error of letting the reactors run out of control, essentially.

Yeah, but in that one, if human error occurs, then it just stops, and this is done.

And all of those things, this is the requirement of us as technologists and developers of this technology to not ignore that dimension, in fact, of the design.

And that's why me personally, I'm actually pouring myself more and more into that area because this is going to be...

I actually really think it is an aspect of the economic viability of fusion because it clearly differentiates ourselves and also sets us up to be about what we want fusion to be.

Again, on paper, fusion can supply all of our energy, like all of it.

So this means I want it to be like really environmentally benign.

But this takes engineering ingenuity basically to do that.

We've been talking too much, you know.

It's very, very, very unlikely.

So this would require a pretty fundamental shift in our understanding of physics as we know it now.

And we know a heck of a lot about how nuclear reactions occur.

By the way, what's interesting is that they actually have a different name for it.

They call it leaner, like low energy nuclear reactions.

But we do have low energy nuclear reactions.

We know these.

It's because these come from particularly the weak interaction, the weak force, nuclear force.

And so it's at this point, you know, as a scientist, you always keep yourself open because, but you also demand proof, right?
