This was not true up until about a month ago, which is very, very exciting.
But you have one built.
You have one built.
And so what's the hang up?
It doesn't sound like an engineering problem.
So the question is what's stopping us from just going and putting uranium in the unit that we have today.
So, uh, we need fuel.
That's sort of the next engineering challenge is that we need to put a triso fuel into that reactor.
Uh, one of the things that Scott talked about on, on his episode is that we've really under invested in nuclear fuel, uh,
And this is not enriched uranium that we're talking about now.
It's wrapping that uranium into the triso particle.
So this is something that we invented in the United States.
So you'll hear this over and over, right?
A technology we invented here and we kind of let it sit on the shelf and other countries scaled it out.
So unfortunately, China has the largest triso production capability in the world today, of course.
And it's being set up domestically as well.
So that's sort of the long lead today is is getting fuel to turn that reactor on But I I'm excited.
I think that we'll we'll get it on in the next year Perfect.
