Ya, try looking at the Candu reactors....
I didnt see it in the discussion above, but i read a nice story (it may have been by Arthur C Clarke) about power being generated by taking advantage of the temperature differential in the Oceans, between the bottom and the surface, using long cables strung from the surface to the bottom. In this story, (i really have to locate it) there iwas an installation in Trincomalee's harbour. that's why i think it was clarke who wrote it, because he lives in Sri Lanka.
