If anyone reads that and goes “hell yea”…
Also what the fuck is a “nuclear reactor startup”?!? God, tech bros really take a whole bunch of privilege and advantage and just throw it all away to be dumber than anyone could have thought possible.
It’s like a regular nuclear reactor, except it’s run by people who don’t know anything about nuclear reactors, the waste is dumped wherever without consequence, and the power output is only used to run an AI and mine cryptos.
Likely still a net improvement over all the fossil fuels they’re burning for that shit now.
The double-meaning of the word “startup” might throw people off, but when the other items from the list in the quote are “trials” and “construction” you can imagine they are talking about an action rather than an entity. Here a “reactor startup” would be the process of a reactor going from subcritical, extremely low power state to the point where it can heat water on its own through fission. This is a standard term in the nuclear power industry, and this confusion seems like one more reason reactors should not exist in an unregulated venture capital environment.
