During routine maintenance or refueling of a nuke, lowering a reactor's normal operating temperatures of about 315° C (600° F) is as simple as the binary code of the computer that does most of the work. Control rods are automatically dropped into the fuel core, which in effect douses its nuclear fires by stopping the fissioning of uranium atoms. Within several hours the temperature drops to 140° C (280° F). Then fresh coolant water is pumped through the reactor's heat exchanger (or steam generator) until the reactor's temperature dwindles to a still warm 65° C (150?...
