== Secondary circuit temperature: 275 °C converts to 527 °F, not 530 °F ==

The "Pumps" subsection gives the operating conditions of the secondary circuit as:

"in most designs 6.2 MPa (60 atm, 900 psia), '''275 °C (530 °F)'''"

However, the standard Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion gives:

:<math>T_{°F} = T_{°C} \times \tfrac{9}{5} + 32 = 275 \times 1.8 + 32 = 495 + 32 = \mathbf{527\,°F}</math>

not 530 °F. A reading of 530 °F would correspond to approximately 276.7 °C, not 275 °C.

All other temperature conversions in the same article (inlet 275 °C = 527 °F, outlet 315 °C = 599 °F, pressurizer 345 °C = 653 °F, critical point 374 °C = 705 °F) are correct. The 275 °C → 530 °F conversion in the secondary-circuit description appears to be a typographical error; it should read '''527 °F'''.
