Talk:Steam power

Obsolete?

A nuclear power plant uses a reactor to heat water, producing superheated steam which is used to drive steam turbines, which in turn drive generators. In other words, it's a kind of steam engine... it just uses a different source of heat. Dpbsmith 20:15, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

True, but I don't think anyone will come to this page to find out how nuclear power works. That should go in the nuclear power article.
