An inactive nuclear reactor continues to generate a significant amount of residual decay heat.

The reactor continued to heat up as coolant is still required during shutdown until the reactions decrease.

Of course it could well be that the reactor will continue to operate.

For hours now the reactor had continued to function without interruption.

The reactor continued to make its ominous winding-up sound.

The reactor continued to be used for tests until 1956.

"As a class," the report says, "these reactors continue to experience serious incidents, raising the specter of another accident akin to Chernobyl."

The other active reactor on the site, Indian Point 3, will continue to operate as normal.

After the explosion at reactor four, the remaining three reactors at the power plant continued to operate.

As the current 103 nuclear reactors continue to generate electricity for the next few decades, the line on the chart remains mostly flat.
