Like how if I have a river, I can install multiple dams in series to get more energy instead of having just one dam.

The turbines generate electricity from pressure. The input to the turbines is high pressure high temperature steam and the output is at atmospheric pressure at bearly above boiling point. Adding another turbine would not be able to extract any more energy from this. The steam you see released is the steam that is sprayed onto the condenser to get the water from the turbines condenesed back into water just bellow the boiling point so they can pump it back into the reactor.
There are a few low temperature differential generator technologies which could be used. But the efficiency of these is not that great and the amount of energy in these low temperatures is not much. So it is not yet worth it trying to install such a system.
