Yeah, if we go back to the one I was talking about earlier, so containerized one megawatt of electric, two megawatts thermal, I think those could be, you're gonna start in really more niche applications like the remote Alaskan village that doesn't have a good source of electricity and solar's unreliable, wind's not gonna work.

Okay, we're way up there in middle of nowhere, Alaska, and we need to actually import diesel every summer through a tanker.

And then we store it and we just run our diesel generators.

Examples like that are just seem like a no brainer for a nuclear reactor that could be containerized and run for five to 10 years.

Or an army base that is going to run off of small ones like that, maybe for radar, maybe for some other critical systems.

I think those applications we're gonna see right away.

And I think for the small ones, you could see as they deploy into those applications, they get more experience building things in the factory.

The factory cost comes down, all of a sudden you realize, okay, these small ones, maybe you can combine like the generators, like the solar panels, like the battery storage.

And we could have parking lots of these that in aggregate produce a pretty good amount of power.

I think at some point, once you're trying to go to bigger amounts, like, okay, we need to do a gigawatt, maybe there's a more efficient way where maybe it doesn't have to be in a shipping container, but it should be truckable or put on a train and it should be able to be made in a factory.

So then you're getting more into the midsize, which people, you know, those really small ones are like,

generally called micro-reactors.

How big are they?

Like 1 to 20 megawatts, shipping container size to something a bit bigger than that.

Not quite 20 times bigger, but a few times bigger because of how things scale.

And then the SMRs, the small modular reactors, that's generally considered 20 to 300 megawatts.

And that's where you're still, now you're getting into a little bit of construction project.

You're gonna prep your site.

You're probably gonna dig barriers for the reactors to go.

You're gonna have to pour some concrete, build some structures.
