From page 200...
... The present version has an outlet coolant temperature of about 700°C and can be applied to the generation of electricity and steam at high pressure. The high pressure facilitates the transport of steam to remote locations, which potentially increases the application of nuclear energy to enhanced oil recovery operations, and to the "mining" of heavy oils and tar sands.
