    Thank you for your work and congratulations. One of my questions is, could we potentially reprocess spent fuel in that triso form? The future needs to be reprocessing, we can’t continue mining; with all the current nuclear waist in America we should be able to reprocess and get energy for a thousand years. But that triso, with the ceramics and graphite doesn’t seem like you could dissolve it and chemically separate it, could you?

    Excellent interview. I think Mr. Sell understands where the world has to go. I agree---carbon alone won't produce the energy the world will need. And carbon extraction and transport will become increasingly fraught. Look at the Mountain Valley Pipeline rolling from upper WV to the Virginia and NC coast. People are fighting it tooth and nail along the way, especially crossing the Allegheny spine and into the piedmont of Virginia. This is the general future of carbon as population densities spread.

    15% enrichment? Does the encapsulation of fuel make this more acceptable to NRC? I think the light water reactor’s are at 5%.

    I would like to know your strategy to get passed the NRC? They are a militant anti-nuclear organization that will do anything to shut you or any other nuclear company down.

    The key to next-generation nuclear is high temperature, something our current PWR technology can not provide. I much prefer liquid fuel gen. IVs but this reactor will get to higher temperatures sooner in the evolution.

      The problem is proliferation risk but it's awesome in theory.

      @@bentray1908 Actually there is less risk.

    Just about as important as Tesla as a Start-up and essential for planet Earth forever.

    All for nukes, tired of bull crap. Where's and when will it operate? We're at 415 PPM and growing fast

    You sell some reactors. Then where is your revenue? Better to lease the reactors for annual revenue.
