Local police described how one piece smashed into the ground near Lake Chebarkul, throwing up a column of ice, water and steam and creating a 26-foot crater.
The gravity-based system responded as it was designed to, circulating water and steam in a continuous loop to keep the scale-model reactor at a safe temperature automatically.

These core uses (what they refer to as direct water and steam services in the commercial, residential, industrial and power sectors) eat up 12.3 quadrillion BTU per year.
Last year, federal regulators blamed heavy tube wear in the generators on a botched computer analysis that they said badly misjudged how water and steam would flow in the reactors, along with manufacturing problems.
They can then check the wires (because, as you know, there have been claims that the wiring may have been misconnected) and also the power output of the unit in relation to both the heated water and the steam.

BrightSource generates electricity using an approach called concentrated solar power, in which computer-controlled mirrors, known as heliostats, focus the sun's heat to boil water and turn a steam turbine.
Put simply, it is like boiling water and then using the steam to power other things in the house.
In London, West German cities and New York, hundreds of plants burn 4 million tons of refuse each year, heat water, produce steam, and supply electricity.
FORBES: Initiative Would Shutter California Nuclear Plants For Decades While Feds Ponder Waste
Located just south of Capitol Hill, the plant burns 47% coal, 43% natural gas and 10% fuel oil to provide steam power and chilled water to the Capitol and 23 surrounding buildings.
The oil, which glows purplish when hot, flows to an adjacent power plant, where it boils water into steam that runs a turbine, and is pumped back to do it all over again.
The manti were filled with piping hot steam (and steam can be hotter than boiling water).
Geothermal power plants turn hot water into steam or vapor to run a turbine and generate electricity, after which the water is injected back into the underground geothermal reservoir.
The biomass power station would burn rubbish, animal manure, woodchips, seaweed, corn stalks and other wastes, to heat water to create steam to turn turbines to produce around 300 megawatts of electricity.

Phase shifts are not new, and are actually quite evident in nature (Water to Steam, Iron to Magnet).
With a combined heat and power plant, some of those 76 wasted BTUs that were going out the stack are captured, generally as steam or hot water that can get piped around and used for heat.
FORBES: Massachusetts Addresses "Biomass Loophole" and Limits Subsidies
That changed a lot when the heat of fire was used for boiling water into steam to drive industry, which became large scale and controlled by a few people with countless labourers and employees, whose smaller scale business had come to be totally outcompeted and had no choice but to accept the working conditions that suited these new tycoons.
The exhaust gases are at several hundred degrees, and so the water is instantly vaporised, producing huge clouds of steam.
Ivanpah is a solar concentrator project, using fields of mirrors, known as heliostats, to concentrate sunlight onto a solar receiver on top of a tower. (This project when finished will include 173, 000 heliostats.) The concentrated sunlight is used to heat water, generating steam which is used to turn a traditional turbine and generator to produce electricity.
FORBES: Google Invests $168 Million In BrightSource Energy Solar Plant
Across the water from the pier, where commuters stepped onto the morning ferry, smoke and steam still emanated from the altered Manhattan skyline.
Despite the fact that it likely contains water and a rocky core, that water is almost certainly in the form of steam or a supercritical fluid.
Obvious discomfort rose from the group and hit me in the face like steam from a pot of boiling water.
FORBES: Borrowing Millions Starts With a Positive First Impression
Each of the reactors will be a small, modular, 125MW advanced light water reactor, which at the present time includes a design for the nuclear core and steam generator to be located at the same site, with passive safety designs.
The District on Apache, a 1, 200-bed student-housing community set to open within walking distance of Arizona State next year, will feature an oversize outdoor movie screen, steam rooms and a 300-foot-long "lazy river" water feature, according to architect Mark Humphreys, whose firm designed University House.
That track record is especially impressive in light of the fact that D-5 missiles are designed to be ejected into the air by pressurized steam from submerged vessels, and only ignite once they are clear of the water.
Although the LG name has been a brand in most markets only for a decade or less, the company has come out with a few hits, including a 2006 steam washing machine, aimed at eco-minded consumers and designed to cut water and detergent usage.
The efficiency of his design is further improved by using the moving piston to drive water through a special steam nozzle, which increases the effectiveness of the heat transfer between the inside and outside of the reactor.
There may still be scepticism and questions over taste, but if the distinctive four funnels of Titanic 2 steam out of Southampton Water in 2016 as planned, the world will certainly be watching.
In lieu of a big arms buildup, it is opening up a prized military asset, its deep-water port in Cam Ranh Bay, in the hopes that foreign navies will steam into the South China Sea and help secure the region's shipping lanes.
It took two years, 284 pounds of flour and all the ingenuity of her husband, Paul, who lined her stove with quarry tiles and, to produce the necessary burst of steam, dropped a brick into a pan of hot water at the bottom of the oven.
