Yup. Most of the UK's reactors are an unusual gas-cooled design which does produce steam temperatures similar to coal power plants, but that's pretty much unique to the UK and also a technological dead end - there were apparently enough engineering headaches that they didn't end up a clear win over standard pressurised water reactors and no-one's built any based on that design since.
