Very interesting and very cool. Another very interesting thing here is the company building/running the small reactor is Oklo. Oklo is co founded by Sam Altman, which is the CEO of OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT. This guy may be a household name in the next few years. Oklo going public via SPAC merger in 2024.
