Spanish term

toro

Spanish to English Other Nuclear Eng/Sci
This term comes up several times in the document I am translating (decontaminating a nuclear reactor). I have come up with torus, but it doesn't seem to fit, and bull doesn't seem right either. Below I have the context.

Dos válvulas de seguridad protegen al tramo de baja presión del sistema. Una de ellas RV-1201-36 tarada a 165 psig descarga mediante tubería a la cámara supresora de presión (Toro).

torus / suppression pool

http://www.nucleartourist.com/type/bwr.htm
"The BWR also has a Torus (shown above) or a Suppression Pool. The torus or suppression pool is used to remove heat released if an event occurs in which large quantities of steam are released from the reactor or the Reactor Recirculation System, used to circulate water through the reactor."

Toro

A la cámara supresora de presión se le conoce también como Toro porque esa es la marca del dispositivo. Las válvulas Toro se escribe con mayúscula porque proviene de un apellido, tal vez de su fabricante. Igual a Boch, Jonhson, Smith, etc.... De allí surge el término toroide. Mas técnicamente se le llama cámara supresora de presión, dispositivo de control de presión, válvula de alivio, etc....porque esa es su función. Controlar la presión cuando esta se dispara.
