    I'm vegan. I know pig meat tastes good. I just wouldn't want to be responsible for the painful death of an animal . Do you think that just because something feels nice to you that it's okay to do even if it hurts someone else?

    Its very, very regulated. And it should be cause there's not really any room for error. But it drives the cost of everything up. Construction, maintenance, operation, testing, everything is so regulated and convoluted and expensive. I don't know if there is a better way to do that all though, I'm not really smart enough to say.

    Waste water? Zero. Basically the plant has three water loops, which exchange heat, but none of them interact(mix) with one another. Loop A is the nasty one. Very hot and at a high pressure. 450 degrees C, 4.5 MPA. Stays liquid all the time. This is heavy water or D2O. It's not radioactive by nature, but ends up radioactive by touching the fuel rods all the time. This is a closed loop system water never changes state, or leaves the loop. Loop B is the steamy one. Interacts with A in boilers, gets heated to becomes steam and goes through the turbine to make power. Not radioactive, although still pretty nasty as it has a lot of chemicals to prevent pipe corrosion. Just regular water though. Never leaves the loop. Loop C is seawater. Fresh and cold out of the ocean, gets pumps through through heat exchangers to condense loop B. The two never actually touch. All of loop C gets pumped back into the ocean. About 2 degrees warmer, but other than that it's the exact same.

    No water waste at all.

    Drain them, rinse them, put them in a hot pan with some oil. Sprinkle a spice mix on top with a minimum of nooch, tumeric, cumin, garlic, ginger, black salt and pepper. Cook for 10 min stir often.

    Delicious

    Good news friend, you don't have to wait for lab grown meat! You can just stop eating cows now. I'm vegan.
