I always knew that I wanted to start this company.

Well, I won't say always.

I've known since middle school that I wanted to start this company.

I've always been obsessed with nuclear.

And I was obsessed with nuclear because of my great-grandfather, who was a nuclear physicist on the Manhattan Project.

And I was very close to my great-grandmother, who only died a few years ago.

Actually, she died when she was 100.

And I was very close to her.

And I kind of grew up talking to her about the Manhattan Project and the history of nuclear.

So I was always obsessed with that.

And I've known since I was about five years old that all I really want to do with my life is make thousands of machines.

But I didn't really know which machines I should make.

I just knew I needed to make thousands of machines.

It's just something that I've always wanted to do.

but I thought nuclear was like sort of covered.

Like I thought people generally had it in hand because I would read these books about the history of nuclear and there's hundreds of different designs of reactors and they're all super sophisticated, super genius designs.

And there's a million smart people in the field.

And so I kind of had the mentality that like they've got it under control, they don't need me, right?

And so that was my mentality, it was more of a hobby.

But when I got to middle school, I started looking for who is the Elon of nuclear, right?
