For somebody like me, that means nothing.
Yeah, it's a good question.
So a 25 megawatt electric unit will power a small town.
So if you want to do, you know, if you want to power a big town, you put several of them next to each other.
And this is a common strategy for nuclear.
Pretty much every nuclear site doesn't have just one nuclear unit on it has several.
But we sort of take that to the logical conclusion and we say we don't just build it.
Normally it's like four, right?
So you have a site, you put like four units on it.
We want to have a site and put hundreds of units on it eventually.
To start off with, if you want to make a gigawatt, put 40 down.
So 40 units next to each other at 25 megawatt electric nameplate is a gigawatt of power.
Now you're powering a big city, or you're powering several towns, several cities, a significant portion of the grid.
And when we look at AI demand, we're looking at demand for data centers as large as a gigawatt, which has never happened before.
This is a brand new idea of doing a data center that large.
We're super excited about it.
So I think, you know, that's probably going to, a 25 megawatt electric unit is going to be a town of probably like 15,000 people.
