How is this possible that in the power plant of a nuclear submarine the temperature of the water in the reactor is above 100 degrees C?

The water is kept under pressure, which raises the boiling point of the water (the same concept behind pressure cookers). Therefore, the water will still be liquid at temperatures greater than 100 degrees C.
