Yeah, about that superheated steam...under pressure...

And the source of that high-pressured steam has an evil twin cousin: radioactive contamination...seems radioactive water has some little corrosion problems on piping.

And even for all that, let's compare the 142 degree celsius temps of radiation generated steam vs the benign geothermal resources:

Oopsies!  Seems like just moderate temperature resources aplenty beat the nuclear plant by a bit.  Using geothermal heat we can raise contained steam reservoir's pressure.  To raise pressure you just need containment.  Pretty simple stuff really..minus the radioactive terror potential...
