Yeah, you know, I think the thing that is really important in nuclear today is allowing innovation to happen, right?

If you think about the role of a regulator, they're trying to figure out how to make sure that we have safety and security across thousands of reactors deployed all over the place.

But what was missing in American nuclear was the innovation layer.

we need to be able to turn on test units and make sure that they work well.

And that's sort of the layer that's missing.

So our lawsuit really addresses a gap in how the Code of Federal Regulations has been written versus how the law is written.

And so, you know, we're excited about that.

We're also very excited about the Department of Energy.

These executive orders signed earlier this year have also opened up incredible pathways to be able to move quickly, turn our reactors on, safely test them before we go and scale.

You know, Palmer, we're showing an image there of different investors in the company, Palmer Luckey of Anduril.

Among those investors, certainly thinking about the defense space and his involvement there, what are the applications of your technology when it comes to defense for the United States?

That's exactly right.

You know, American military bases all around the world are generally dependent on their local grid for power.

This has become a massive vulnerability as grids have become vulnerable to cyber attack by our competitors.

And so this is a way for us to actually secure American military bases abroad.

We want to see these reactors deployed on bases.

A couple of months ago, the Janus program was announced under the U.S.

Army to do exactly this, to actually put power on military bases that's fully within American control.

We think these reactors are perfect for that.

This is a nice small form factor that's very easy to construct and is powerful enough to power a base if you put a couple of them together.
