A nuclear reactor system includes a first drillhole extending from a terranean surface through one or more subterranean formations. A reactor core is positioned in the first drillhole, and includes at least one nuclear fuel element. A primary coolant system is configured to transport a primary fluid coolant through the reactor core. A second drillhole extends from the terranean surface through the one or more subterranean formations and is separated from the first drillhole by a portion of a rock formation. A heat exchanger is positioned in the second drillhole in thermal communication with the reactor core through the portion of the rock formation. A secondary coolant system is thermally coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to transport a secondary fluid coolant between the heat exchanger and the terranean surface.
