Wow, never would have considered using literal lava as a cooling fluid, but I guess its all relative to what you want to cool.

Sodium stays in liquid form all the way to 883°C. They will not run the reactor that hot, for various reasons, but they can run it at more than 500°C. Still, well below lava levels.
