Something fishy about that food pyramid

IMO PBMR's are a truely enviromental solution to our power needs.

"Are" or "may be"?
None exist yet, do they?
And hot gas reactors do not have a very good reliability record so far.
(Safety is fine, but reliability having to do with cost)

PBMR's are in the process of being constructed.

Before this however testing was done, I believe in Germany, where an experimental PBMR was drained of its helium coolant and allowed to do what comes naturally. It stabilized at >1000F below the designs limits, as expected, because of its intrinsic passive cooling.

This makes PBMR a very safe tech compared to water or sodium cooled reactors who would melt down and/or explode under similar circumstances.

One of the first will likely be built for ESKOM in South Africa with expectations of building 10 more there. China and Japan are also on the short list of PBMR builders.

PS My favorite, by far, is Tuna that I have cooked myself on a hot grill over hickory.
It should still look like cherry candy on the inside or it is over cooked.
Hard to get it like that at a restaurant

you... you... cook it?

Tuna grilled properly is barely so; done on a very hot grill just enough to sear the outside but not discolor the interior, much like a very rare fliet mignon.

Yummy

you apply heat in any form to tuna.

I tells ya, best way is some soy sauce, wasabi and a nice beverage to help wash it down.
served cold.

I'm with you all the way.
We make it at home, also rolls.

If you could build up a resistance to mercury like you build up a resistance to biological poisons, the Japanese would probably be the world's healthiest people.

The best is when it's freshly caught. I'm surprised how much the taste of raw seafood changes within only one hour of pulling it from the water. You've got to catch it yourself or have them retrieve it from tanks in order to fully appreciate the flavor of fresh raw seafood. ... I'm drooling now.

Oh thank you very much Mr Costal Dweller.
Bass and Catfish are nice, but they are not Tuna.

That's me. I used to go out on half-day party boats quite often out of San Diego but it's been awhile now ... mackerel, bonita, rock cod, red snapper, etc. I've also fished numerous times in Norther California out of Monterey, Half-Moon Bay, etc. I've never gone out for albacore but we have a lot of that up and down the coast as well. I caught halibut and croaker etc. out of the bay in San Diego. I'd make it a practice many times after work to stuff some beer into the cooler and head out to the water for some fishing before nightfall. It's mostly trout fishing while backpacking these days ... fresh stream native rainbows and German browns. That's darn good eating too. Guess it's about time I get myself out on the ocean again and catch me some rock cod and salmon, and maybe even one of those monstrous Lings.
