Okay.

And then some people are even trying to use, uh, molten salt approaches where the whole coolant that flows through contains the uranium in it.

And so you have a mixture of, of fluids.

And in that case, it's just, it's basically like a liquid flowing.

What about the waste?

Is there any waste?

There's,

Yeah, the waste that people talk about is really spent fuel.

That's the way to think about it.

It's just, hey, we took this pellet, classically, the one-inch tall metal sort of pellet, and we put it in the reactor for a while, and a lot of the U-235, it reacted.

It released heat.

It released neutrons.

It's something else now, and so it decays into other things.

And so now you've got that pellet and what do you do with it?

You put it in water, cool it off for a period of time, and then they put it into cement cylinders.

And these cylinders are

you know, uh, probably roughly 10 feet across, um, bigger than human size, but nearly indestructible.

That's how they're designed to be.

And today we just keep them next to the reactor that they were operating at.

And they, they sit there.
