1. A vapor powered apparatus for generating electric power, comprising:a liquid chamber configured to contain a working fluid;a first heat exchanger, in fluid communication with the liquid chamber and a spent nuclear fuel rod storage system, configured to transfer heat from fluid coming from spent nuclear fuel rods to working fluid coming from the liquid chamber, wherein the transferred heat vaporizes at least a portion of the working fluid to provide a working pressure of the vaporized working fluid;a pressure motor, in fluid communication with the heat exchanger, configured to convert the working pressure of the vaporized working fluid into mechanical motion for a power generator operatively connected to the pressure motor;a vapor chamber configured to capture the vaporized working fluid exiting the pressure motor;a second heat exchanger configured to use working fluid from the liquid chamber to condense the captured vaporized working fluid, returning the condensed working fluid back to the liquid chamber, wherein at least one of the second heat exchanger and the liquid chamber is configured such that heat is able to transfer from the working fluid to a cooling source outside of the vapor powered apparatus; andan exchanger fluid system within the liquid chamber configured to provide the working fluid to the second heat exchanger from a bottom portion of a pool of working liquid in the liquid chamber. 2. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 1, wherein the working liquid has a boiling point of 150 degrees F. or less. 3. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 1, wherein the working fluid comprises Methoxy-nonafluorobutane, CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2, or Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one. 4. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 1, further comprising the generator. 5. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 1, wherein the working fluid becomes colder when maintained at a determined depth in the pool of working fluid in the liquid chamber. 6. A vapor powered apparatus for generating electric power, comprising:a liquid chamber configured to contain a working fluid;a first heat exchanger, in fluid communication with the liquid chamber, configured to transfer heat from fluid coming from a heating source to working fluid coming from the liquid chamber, wherein the transferred heat vaporizes at least a portion of the working fluid to provide a working pressure of the vaporized working fluid;a pressure motor, in fluid communication with the heat exchanger, configured to convert the working pressure of the vaporized working fluid into mechanical motion for a power generator operatively connected to the pressure motor;a vapor chamber configured to capture the vaporized working fluid exiting the pressure motor;a second heat exchanger configured to use working fluid from the liquid chamber to condense the captured vaporized working fluid, returning the condensed working fluid back to the liquid chamber; andan exchanger fluid system configured to provide the working fluid to the second heat exchanger from a bottom portion of a pool of working liquid in the liquid chamber, wherein the exchanger fluid system comprises:a conduit entry point at the bottom portion of the pool of working fluid in the liquid chamber; andan outside conduit that provides fluid communication between the conduit entry point and the second heat exchanger, wherein at least a portion of the outside conduit is outside of the liquid and vapor chambers, and wherein the outside conduit comprises a coil or increased surface area portion that is lower than the conduit entry point. 7. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 6, wherein the working fluid and the coil or increased surface area portion is arranged to cause condensation of air onto the coil or increased surface area portion. 8. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 6, wherein the working liquid has a boiling point of 150 degrees F. or less. 9. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 6, wherein the working fluid comprises Methoxy-nonafluorobutane, CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2, or Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one. 10. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 6, wherein the working fluid becomes colder when maintained at a determined depth in the pool of working fluid in the liquid chamber. 11. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a thermostatically controlled valve system that manages and stabilizes the fluid coming from the spent nuclear fuel rods at the appropriate temperature required to power the power generator. 12. The vapor powered apparatus of claim 6, wherein the first heat exchanger is in fluid communication with a spent nuclear fuel rod storage system.
