The deepest hole in the world is 7.5 mile down it is in russia. this hole was stopped at 7.5 miles because the water to cool the tools would flash before it got to the tool heads. meaning if we piped down water we could bring back up crazy high steam pressure. high enough to turn turbines and make conventional electricity..

That's not nuclear power. You don't (even) get what nuclear power is.Other places are doing it, at less than half the distance. Engineering is not one of your many fortes.
It's known as geothermal power.

I will put on my smart Aleck hat;
Well, majority of geothermal power is traceable to spontaneous fission of radioactive isotopes mainly in earth’s core, so it is fission. But much of the energy released by the spontaneous fission of radioactive isotopes on earth core ultimately comes from catastrophic nucleosynthesis inside a core collapse supernova, which is a form of endothermic nuclear fusion. So geothermal energy largely comes form nuclear fission, which in turn is largely powered by nuclear fusion.
