Begin with my nuclear engineering background, I'd love to see that. I just am a little wary, because When I, we discovered they were researching [small modular reactors] 5-10 years ago, they said it was 5-10 years out. We're now five years forward, and it's still five to ten years out. So I'm not necessarily holding my breath yet, but that is a federal thing. It's a little bit more federal regulation. (14:45–14:54)

CLAIM
