Big hydrogen tanks could be attached to nuclear plants

This article shows that hydrogen could be generated from the waste steam from nuclear plants. Of course, the giant hydrogen tanks wouldn't be right beside the nuclear plant, since they tend to go off with a boom. It would only be in giant trucks or pipelines, right by the nuclear plant.

Actually, there isn't any waste steam from a nuclear plant. It just goes into the condenser, and is considered very valuable stuff. The circulated lake water is just warmed up a bit, hardly good enough for anything. Actually, they may have been confused with the old days up at the Bruce. The old heavy water plant had plenty of waste steam, and they sent it by a long pipeline to help grow hothouse tomatoes. The plant was closed years ago, and I wonder what the tomatoes use now.
