Probably not. Steam turbines are a pretty mature technology, though I suppose you'd want to use the most efficient kind of turbine available if energy output isn't overwhelmingly bigger than energy input.

edit: since JET is used for research rather than practical power generation, they might not have a steam turbine at all. I was thinking more of the scenario where they're past the research phase and actually doing power generation.
