Now, a lot of the reactors that we have today were originally designed for 20 to 30 years, in some cases 40, and they've ended up running for 60, 70, and some have been licensed to keep going even further than that.

So nuclear is a very long-term technology.

Part of this is the fact that there's not that many moving parts, actually.

They're pretty solid.

They're pretty stable.

Especially our architecture that we use uses helium.

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

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

Are you working with Scott Nolan at all?

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

We need to be able to enrich more uranium.

We've built our reactors around low enriched uranium.

So he's working on solving the HALU problem.

So HALU is high SA, low enriched uranium.

It's essentially uranium enriched from uranium

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

The reason we do that is it exists today.

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

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

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