Still another will have a novel gimmick. Its cooling water will be allowed to boil, and the steam generated will be used directly to drive a 5,000-kw. turbine. This cuts out the conventional heat exchanger used in the reactor of the submarine Nautilus to generate nonradioactive steam. Dr. Smyth did not say so, but the turbine will probably become so radioactive that it cannot be approached by humans...
