The only notable exception in commercial operation is probably the British AGR (Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor) fleet which uses carbon dioxide as the coolant, circulating at approx 640 °C (1184 °F) which goes through a heat exchanger that’s really more like a traditional power station boiler in many respects. It raises super heated steam, much more like the temperature profile seen in a conventional gas, coal or oil burning plant.
