Molten salt. Lower pressure, higher efficiency, and I believe less reactive in the event of an uh-oh.

The molten salt is used as the first step. It then makes steam through a heat exchanger. Molten salt is safer next to the actual reactor because water is not a good coolant in case of emergency.

Oh, I was just joking around. What my water system is missing is molten salt.

Although for the sake of preposterousness, I'm going to suggest we use the molten salt to turn a giant water wheel.
