    @dman04321: No, this isn't true. Some reactors cycle hot coolant (usually water) through pipes to heat a large quantity of water in a second loop to boiling and this steam drives the turbine. "But how does the water in the first loop not boil?" you ask? Ah, that is because the first loop is at EXTREMELY HIGH pressure! This intense pressure prevents the water fom boiling and allows it to flow through the pipes as a liquid at temperatures WELL ABOVE 100 C.
