Nuclear PBMR district heating

I read something about these small "pebble bed" modular reactors to be built
in South Africa.They are high temperature nuclear reactors,graphite
moderated and helium cooled.The core heats up helium from 500 to 900
°C,after that is discharged at 140 °C. Could it be possible to heat up water
at temperatures high enough for district heating or district cooling in the
hot months?Have you got any estimate about max water temperature achievable
with helium at 140 °C?
