We want to make them in factories.

We want to get really low on cost and, you know, high quality, low cost, the whole Six Sigma manufacturing strategy.

But let's use those concepts and apply them to nuclear reactors instead of treating every single one as a bespoke one-off construction project.

We're going to factory produce these.

So that's pretty much everyone's vision.

But they said to pull that off,

you've got to make it smaller.

You can't build a huge thing, a thing the size larger than a factory in a factory.

You've got to make small things.

And so if we're going to make the reactor small, we need more energy dense fuel.

How small are they making these reactors?

So one company that Founders Fund invested in makes a reactor that fits in a shipping container.

So you can truck it to the site, drop it off, put some perimeter security around it, put some active security around it, and minimal site preparation, you can operate.

How much of that power?

Those that are in a container like that, one megawatt.

So that's meant to just replace a diesel generator.

So not a lot.

But if you can make them cheap enough, you can tile them together and build a big array of them like you see with solar, gas generators, grid scale, battery storage, same thing.

So that's one approach.

I think you go that small and it's going to have some really unique applications that are off-grid or
