I sometimes wonder if you could make a much safer nuclear plants with TEGs. There would be next to no active processes and moving parts, no pumps and coolant and circulation. Use nuclear magic to make the hot side, cool with ambient temperature.
No doubt this would be less energy efficient, but perhaps you reap so much savings by not having to worry about water circulation that it's worth it.
