Thanks, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
Dr. Novog, you've seen the evolution of nuclear reactors over the past 10 years. You've been there from the beginning. You've seen them change, and they will change again. You probably remember the first one that was created, and you can compare it to what exists today.
I know you don't have a crystal ball, so you can't predict the future, but I'll ask you anyway: when will we succeed in creating a functional, measurable, productive and environmentally friendly system?
