Only nuclear-powered boats generate steam for propulsion, electrical, and potable water conversion. The heat from the reactor flashes water into steam; the pressurized steam is then channeled toward a set of turbine generators, which provide electricity and are also connected to main engines for propulsion. Sea water is also desalinated using the the steam (condensed for various crew/boat uses) and stored as potable water for drinking/bathing, or de-ionized water for making oxygen.
