So that is the emergency core cooling system for a pressurised waterreactor.
所以,那是紧急核心冷却系统,对于一个加压水反应堆而言。

But even after shutdown, there is residual heat that needs to be drawn off by coolingwater pumped through the reactor core, and that’s where the trouble came.
但是即便终止之后,依旧有余热存在,需要冷却水泵抽水注入反应堆芯将热量散去,这也是问题所在。

This, we now know, is what "well prepared" looks like: total loss of power at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor, which deprived the reactor core and spent-fuel pools of coolingwater.
