the ratio is about 1.23 turbine for each heat exchanger: you use 3 per heat exchanger.Not enough steam available.

See the factorio wiki

[edit]

to be more precise:
Heat exchangers produce 103.0927835 steam per second
Steam Turbines consume 60 steam per second

One exchanger can feed 103.0927835 / 60 = 1.7182130583 turbines
(close to perfect ratio for small reactors: 14 exchangers to 24 turbines: you need to produce 140 MW with your reactors, and deliver a total of 14 * 103.0927835 water per second.)
