Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to direct my questions to Mr. Tucker, I believe.
I want to delve into the underlying science here. Most of the reactors that I'm hearing about seem to be basically steam-driven processes. We're using novel materials, high pressures and so forth, based on novel materials and so on and so forth, but it seems to me that it's fundamentally the same technology we've had from the industrial age, except instead of cooking the tea kettle with coal or wood, or some other chemical process, we're using nuclear. It's still a tea kettle, though.
I'm wondering if there's any inkling of any other way of extracting the energy from nuclear fission other than.... Perhaps there's a non-thermodynamic kind of process. I wonder if you could help me out there.
