How do you generate electricity from boiling water without using a steam generator?
This is a little scary to me. At school, I live within 20 kilometers of Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in Morro Bay. There are tons of faults here. one thrust fault runs from here to Morro Bay and is just about a mile from where I am now. I do not know if they throttled back Diablo Canyon while the tsunami waves came in. They were only 4 feet but it was like the tide coming in and out at about 10 mph. I think the intakes for cooling water (I believe they use sea water for secondary heat exchanger circuit) would be safe.
