g.e. hitachi is working on a small reactor that is a little different than the light water react stores you've been hearing about. we've been speaking about a prison. reactor. it was originally developed by the national laboratories. it also would use nuclear fuel. you would basically put the light water fuel through a recycling center where you would be able to get that fuel palate out. you would get 90% of the uranium value out of a recycled fuel palate and create a new form of -- >> what size would this small reactor be? >> right around 300 megawatts. it does qualify as a small reactor. you would place these recycling centers at locations around the country where you have existing nuclear plants and you would reduce the need to transport the fuel quite as far. >> and this would obviate the need for a permanent -- or reduce the need? >> reduce the need of a repository. you would still need to store materials for three 500 years. unlike the million that was envisioned for a long-term repository. it's a much shorter period of time. the other benefit to this technology is that you don't separat
