Describe basic flowpath of heat through the RX/STM system
Rx heats primary coolant > Primary coolant heats secondary water > secondary water turns to steam > steam performs work on steam plant/rx plant equipment > steam is condensed into water > water fed to DFT > water fed through MFPs > MFP feed water to S/Gs
