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

Helium is inert, so we don't have a lot of chemical reactions and corrosions in the core, that sort of thing.

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

So I think they'll last a long time, but we plan around 20 years.

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

Are you working with Scott Nolan at all?

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

So Scott's working on uranium enrichment, which is extremely important.

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

We need to be able to enrich more uranium.

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

We've built our reactors around low enriched uranium.

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

So he's working on solving the HALU problem.

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

So HALU is high SA, low enriched uranium.

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

It's essentially uranium enriched from uranium

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

5% to 20%, anywhere in that range, we use below 5%.

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

The reason we do that is it exists today.

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

Scott's solving a problem of we just don't have Halo.

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

Russia makes it, we're not buying it from Russia.

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

We have some stockpiles which we're trying to figure out how to make available for test quantities.

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

But if you need these sort of like advanced types of reactors, you need HALU.

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

We kept it simple, right?

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

We just said, let's use what's off the shelf.

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

Off the shelf is low-energy uranium.

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

It currently powers 20% of the American energy grid, and there's lots of it.

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

So we start there.
