reactor's
Power plant's heart
Reactor's is the possessive form of reactor—a vessel or device in which a controlled reaction occurs.
A nuclear reactor's core contains fuel rods.
A chemical reactor's temperature must be carefully monitored.
The word also applies to people who react: The reactor's response was immediate and visceral.
