So then the question is, well, how do you do things right?

And the only way to do things right is to start from first principles.

You have to look at the design and you have to say, how do we make this cheap?

How do we manufacture it easily?

How do we keep it safe?

And the safety has to do with the cost, right?

Because if you have a very safe reactor, you spend a lot less time and energy on engineering safety, right?

A very simple, very safe reactor is easier to make safe

than a reactor that's like less safe by design.

And then you end up adding a bunch of safety band-aids on it.

Let's put it that way.

So just start with something that's much safer, much simpler.

And then the other way that you drive a lower India index is by doing the same thing over and over.

Repetition is really the fundamental way that you drive an India index lower.

This is again why we make the reactors very small and why we have this model of making many of them on a site.

I call this, you do well what you do often.

right so whatever you do over and over again you're going to do better and better and so you want to get into this pattern where you're making the same reactor with the same tools with the same people and they get better at it and that's what's going to allow us to pull all of that cost out of the system and we'll get to cheap reactors which are more like industrial pieces of equipment right maybe an indiax of 10 hopefully get down to seven maybe even five let's move into china versus the us with the ai race and

Yeah, so first off, I am definitely concerned about that.

I'm especially concerned about that in places where we do have the technological edge today.

So I think AI is a really obvious example where, of course, China is doing that.
