Isaiah Taylor, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for having me.
It's an honor to be here in this incredibly inspiring room.
Lots of mementos in here that are sick.
So yeah, I'm excited to talk.
Oh, thank you.
I think it's either all the energy grid will be sucked up by 2030 or we'll fall behind.
We'll fall behind on AI, which I think is unacceptable.
This is a red-hot screaming problem that has to be solved.
It's a national security issue.
I think if you're working in energy, you're working on something really important.
That's right.
So small modular reactors, the technical term, there's sort of three categories.
Micro reactors are 0 to 20 megawatts.
SMR, small modular reactors, are 20 to about 300.
And then above 300, you're just sort of the classic gigawatt scale large reactors.
So we're kind of in the lower range of SMRs.
Our first commercial unit will be around 25 megawatts electric.
What does that mean?
