You're going to build it.
In layperson's terms, what does that mean, one megawatt?
So you're building one of those?
Idaho National Laboratory is part of the Department of Energy.
It's been involved with nuclear research for decades now.
Radian's micro-reactor was selected by the federal government for testing there, where it will be put through its paces to make sure it works the way Doug and his team are hoping.
The one megawatt reactor you're building, what are you going to do with it?
Why are you building it?
It sort of depends who... And a couple of gazillion dollars.
That's the grid scale, right?
Is that the deal?
Show me stuff.
I am not going to get into the science.
Trust me, you do not want that.
Doug did tell me that that graphite is eventually going to surround the reactor core.
It's about seven feet in diameter, small in the world of nuclear.
But what they're building here is designed to fit in a shipping container.
