Like you're going to like pre-approve that the fact that the license for the reactor is pretty safe and it's fine.

But you're just going to like approve the as built drawings at the end.

Right.

Now, like when you do that, well, then it's a lot easier to get away with things being one inch off here and there, which is fine.

But like if you

Give them as builds and say, we're going to choose a licensing path where you hold us responsible to no changes.

Well, then when they come in and inspect it and it's one inch off, they're like, you got to redo that and do it to exactly the specs you told us.

So now all of the different reactor companies are deciding to go with this new pathway because it would be a lot cheaper.

But, you know, like then you have to wait till the end for them to say that something you did wasn't like a safety concern.

And so it could cause you a lot more cost, which is why people generally don't do that.

Right.

And so my thing with the NRC is that they have a job to do, not unlike the Fed's dual mandate, right?

Like the NRC now has a dual mandate, right?

So with the Advance Act.

It used to be that they just were safety minded.

Now they're safety minded and they have to support the building of new nuclear.

Right.

And so the way this kind of stuff works is you got to flood the zone.

Right.

So if you actually build 10 reactors, it'll be amazing how efficient the NRC will become.
