[QUOTE="PhoenixM3, post: 17029754, member: 140283"] Condensate from the SSTG (ship's service turbine generators) and the Main engines are in a "secondary" coolant loop. Condensate pumps take cool sea water and run that through coolant loops in the condensers. When the steam is cooled and in condensate form, it is pumped back into the the steam generators where it's flashed to super-heated and dry steam, where it makes it's way to either the main engines, or the TGs. Chemistry in primary coolant (reactor, reactor pumps, CRDMs (control rod drive mechanisms) and secondary systems are very closely monitored. Reactor operates at pretty high temperatures, and primary coolant is maintained under very high pressure to avoid pure water flashing to steam. Cool story is the original reactor coolant pumps from my first (now decommissioned) boat were removed during shipyard period and were repurposed to pump water in some town on the East Coast. [/QUOTE]
