English to Swedish translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Nuclear Eng/Sci / Kärnkraftverks säkerhetsteknik
English term or phrase:core catcher
En struktur inne i kärnkraftverk. Har som uppgift att fånga härden i fall av härdsmälta. Ligger under reaktorn och består av t.ex. grafit. "designed to catch the flowing molten core that has melted through the metal reactor vessel"
"härdfångare" verkar vara ett rätt nytt men helt gångbart ord. Som Peter Sjöberg påpekar, används den också av kärnindustrin, inte enbart av media. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

Asker: Tack, Peter. Så fort jag googlade härdfångare + reaktor fick jag fram några till kärnindustridokument som använder ordet, den äldsta från 2004: http://www.loviisa3.fi/filebank/64-Fortum_2009_Lovisa3_PAP-ansokan.pdf - se sidan 55 ; http://www.tvo.fi/uploads/File/2008/OL4_PAP_sve_lukittu.pdf - se sidan 59 ; http://www.barsebackkraft.se/files/NfrB12004.pdf - se sidan 6
