English term

English Science Nuclear Eng/Sci
The isolation condensers were used in older boiling water reactors to remove decay heat from the reactor core at high reactor coolant pressure when the main condenser was not available.



It is super easy to find what these word mean but not easy to understand

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Tony Thanks for sharing your idea. I agree with you.
Tony M Aug 11, 2016:
@ Asker It all depends: if I have the necessary specialist technical knowledge in my own (target) language, then it's not too difficult to work out what must be being referred to; at least enough to know the right questions to ask the "customer" when things are truly ambiguous. But without that knowledge in EITHER the target OR the source language, then I would indeed find myself a bit stumped!

I am thinking that translation theorists should claim that a non-native speaker (translator) needs to work with a native translator of the source text to translate more efficiently. However, Newmark and Naida passed away several years ago!

when the pressure of the reactor coolant is high

Is that what you need to know?
Note from asker:
I suspect it is!

agree Terry Richards : Yes, it's coolant for the reactor and it's at high pressure!

Thanks, Yasutomo-san!
agree Didier Fourcot : when the pressure was still high, it decreased later due to leaks

Thanks, Didier! Yes, it seems to me the pressure was released via an unintentional leakage path, as perhaps the 'official' pressure release paths were not working.
