The electricity cannot be utilized directly. The main useful output of atomic nuclear reactions is still the heat, which has then to be converted into power like any other source of heat.

Not only is the animal power-plant quite inefficient, but it has to, be stoked and fed all the time, whether any energy is utilized or not.
