I could not get that to work. It would be nice, I agree.
I've got a 6-reactor layout that fits into a Tier-3 Factory nicely. The math works pretty well. With adjacency bonuses, the reactors should give 800MW, which is just over 137 turbines, and I've squeezed in 138.
I'm considering trying a different idea with more reactors and lots of heat-exchangers, and using pipes to get the steam out to the turbines.
