A nuclear reactor produces electricity by heating up the radioactive material in its core, which then heats water to produce steam. That steam is used to turn turbines that produce electricity.

核反应堆通过加热堆心的放射性物质产生电力，然后用这些电力加热水产生蒸汽，再用蒸汽驱动涡轮发电机发电。

But, because the tsunami damaged the diesel-powered generators that pumped the water, the core kept heating up.

但是，因为海啸破坏了吸水的电力发电机，核心不断放热。

Directly from the PLC PID operation to the temperature controller, DT3, as the temperature control core, reduce the PLC computation and improve the control effect of heating key process.

从PLC直接作PID运算提升到温度专用控制器，DT3为温度控制核心，减轻PLC计算量，提高了加热关键工序的控制效果。

"Our vision is that one of these plants would be the core element of a community energy center" that could provide a local, sustainable source of both transportation and heating fuel.
