The utility has to get approval from the citizens who are going to have to increase the fees that they're paying.

This product doesn't do that.

So we sell to businesses.

We sell commercially.

A data center company, Equinix, could buy a reactor, set it down somewhere, use it for clean power.

you're not going to feel it in your pocket directly like you will if some utility chooses to build.

Yeah, it wouldn't.

What it would do is it would offset their need to have diesel generators.

There are these rooms filled with diesel generators that are sitting and waiting to be used.

So this is really what it would replace.

It would replace this thing that people don't really see, but they do breathe the emissions from it.

Yeah, government support is extremely important.

It has been and will be always, I think, for nuclear.

We're using an enrichment level that's about a 20% enrichment level.

And so we rely on the government to help get us fuel from stockpiles.

That's maybe the most important thing.

The other is that there's a dome facility at Idaho National Lab.

So it's a great big 80-foot diameter dome that we can insert the reactor into and then close it all up from the outside.

And then run your test.

Yeah, and it's actually a sealed environment, and there are these filters so that you can see if there's anything radioactive released at all.
