  1. Isaiah Taylor

    Founder and CEO of Valar Atomics

    if you look at the um the economics of nuclear it really is driven by how quickly and cheaply can you produce plants right the uranium is very cheap right the the fuel is very cheap. The question is, can you produce plants quickly and cheaply?
