What are these small pipes for?

Does anyone know what these thin pipes are for? There seem to be two kinds of these: one, coming off a distribution header in a room (first photo) and another, coming off a pipe under the reactor(second photo) photos from https://lana-sator.livejournal.com/226632.html. The pipes are much thinner than the ones used for cooling water for each of the pressure channels. Are both types of pipes used for cooling the graphite moderator?
