The reactor temperature had risen to 92.2 C. The cause of the outage is suspected to be motor failure.

High reactor temperature initiates action to open cooling media valve.

One external high-voltage power line still functioned, allowing plant staff in the central control room to monitor data on internal reactor temperatures and water levels.

The control rods are inserted to stop the reactor, but without coolant the reactor temperature continues to rise rapidly.

Meanwhile, on the bridge, the captain, officers, and crew monitor the reactor temperature which is climbing steadily.

They complete the welding and to everyone's relief the reactor temperature begins to fall - the plan seems to have worked.

The reduction in water pumping could have raised reactor temperatures.

When used as a coolant for a nuclear reactor, water requires heavy piping since at the high reactor temperatures, water is kept under pressure.

Juking takes energy, and requires a minimum reactor temperature.

"Here we go," Viktor said, running the reactor temperature to a high spike.
