Small modular reactors (SMRs) operating at Gen 4 designs can provide steam at 500-1000 degrees Celsius, covering a significant portion of industrial base-load heat demand currently supplied by coal, natural gas, and oil; this addresses carbon-intense industrial steam requirements that most people don't realize exist.
