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

This was not true up until about a month ago, which is very, very exciting.

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

But you have one built.

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

You have one built.

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

Yes.

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

And so what's the hang up?

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

It doesn't sound like an engineering problem.

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

Yeah.

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

So the question is what's stopping us from just going and putting uranium in the unit that we have today.

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

So, uh, we need fuel.

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

That's sort of the next engineering challenge is that we need to put a triso fuel into that reactor.

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

Uh, one of the things that Scott talked about on, on his episode is that we've really under invested in nuclear fuel, uh,

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

And this is not enriched uranium that we're talking about now.

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

It's wrapping that uranium into the triso particle.

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

So this is something that we invented in the United States.

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

So you'll hear this over and over, right?

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

A technology we invented here and we kind of let it sit on the shelf and other countries scaled it out.

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

So unfortunately, China has the largest triso production capability in the world today, of course.

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

And it's being set up domestically as well.

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

So that's sort of the long lead today is is getting fuel to turn that reactor on But I I'm excited.

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

I think that we'll we'll get it on in the next year Perfect.
