The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

Truly the best engineers, the most talented fabricators, machinists, live in South Bay Los Angeles, and that's why we're there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

I think over time, the business will operate in many, many different places around the world.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

We'll have nuclear reactors operating in many countries, in many states, thousands of reactors all around the world.

#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

I'm not sure exactly where the center of gravity will go, but as long as there are very smart people in South Bay LA that are working for us and that we need access to, it makes sense for us to be there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

I would put it in the thousands.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

I would say we could have thousands of reactors chained together on a single site.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

If you look at that total power rating, you're looking at 50 to 100 gigawatts, which would be by far the largest electrical generation station on Earth.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

But it would actually be similar to some of the larger oil refineries that we have today.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

So I think that's sort of the limit because if you build much larger power stations than that, you're vulnerable to attack and that sort of thing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

You don't want to have all that technology centralized.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

So it's more of like a, how big is that station compared to all of your other stations and compared to all the other generation?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

Again, you don't want too much centralization because that makes you vulnerable.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

So I think that we will get into thousands that puts us into the same class as like the largest oil refineries in the world in terms of continuous energy output.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

But if we have 15 different sites that are in the thousands, then maybe you go even higher.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

There's really not a fundamental limit there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

It's really just how much demand for power is there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

Not yet.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Not yet.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

What do you want to do there?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#219 Isaiah Taylor - CEO of Valar Atomics

But I believe that, so first of all, space and nuclear go well together for a couple of reasons.
