1. A drop system for cooling a nuclear reactor, the drop system comprising:a. a heat exchanger having a first side and a second side, wherein the heat exchanger is within a nuclear reactor, the heat exchanger comprising:i. an inner pipe having an expandable lip, wherein one or more gaskets are circumferencially engaged with an outer circumference of the inner pipe;ii. an outer pipe, wherein the inner pipe and the outer pipe are nested, wherein a first end of the nested inner and outer pipes is in communication with the first side of the heat exchanger, wherein a second end of the nested inner and outer piper is in communication with the second side of the heat exchanger, wherein the inner pipe slidingly engages an interior surface of the outer pipe;iii. one or more burst discs, wherein the one or more burst discs are configured to rupture;b. one or more fusible links attached to the outer pipe, wherein the fusible links are collapsible, wherein the one or more fusible links are heat activated;c. at least one locking mechanism having a counter weight,wherein the at least one locking mechanism is in communication with the outer pipe,wherein the locking mechanism raises and lowers the outer pipe, and wherein liquid nitrogen absorbs heat as it flows through the heat exchanger, and wherein the liquid nitrogen flows through the heat exchanger after the one or more burst discs rupture. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a gas-powered generating unit, for generating electricity from the liquid nitrogen gas as it expands. 3. The system of claim 2, further comprising a hydraulic system powered by the gas-powered generating unit. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein hydraulic system opens and shuts valves. 5. The system of claim 1, comprising a relief valve to relieve excess gaseous nitrogen pressure from the system. 6. The system of claim 5, further comprising an expansion tank, wherein the relief valve evacuates the excess gaseous nitrogen pressure to the expansion tank. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the fusible links collapse at a predetermined temperature, and wherein the collapsing of the links cause the heat exchanger to automatically drop into a position at a lowered state relative to an elevated state. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the several pipes communicate the liquid nitrogen through the first side of the heat exchanger. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the liquid nitrogen comprises compressed atmospheric nitrogen. 10. The system of claim 1, further comprising a hydraulic system in communication with the heat exchanger.
