Industry terms

In the nuclear industry, the term "reactor" is normally used for "炉," e.g., "a fast breeder reactor" for "高速増殖炉." "Reactor No. 1" could mean something like 原子炉番号1 in an extreme case, although it would be understood properly. It is safe to translate 第1号機 as "Unit 1."

International Atomic Energy Agency uses "Unit" to refer to a 機. The reference article summarizes the reactor status of Units 1 to 4 of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. They are known to be 福島第一原子力発電所1-4号機.
