This is a problem. The design of a nuclea reactor is not quite the same as a boiler, you have to pass running water fast and/or use vast volume of water. A boiler has such format to make sure pressure is well distributed, but a nuclear rector needs fast cooling, not necessarily high pressure. This is not the same thing as a common boiler. The closet thing is the combustion chamber of a a combustion engine, which in the cases of racing cars may achieve 100s KW within a volume of a few liters. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Internal_combustion_engine_pistons_of_partial_cross-sectional_view.jpg
