This assertion makes no sense. Different water is constantly in contact with the surface. Cooler water, in fact. All water molecules are the same. In a fission reactor core, or a combustion reactor, the water is constantly in motion, driven by convection and mechanically by powerful pumps. Therefore a given water molecule comes in contact with the hot metal for only milliseconds. For that matter, the water in a teapot moves rapidly from convection, coming into contact with the hot metal for only a few milliseconds before moving out of the way, allowing other water access to the bottom. - Jed
