Italian term or phrase: callote
tappo
giosi
English translation:reactor heads
Explanation:
Whilst I agree with Simon, sometimes a translator has to use their general intelligence (which I take as a given) to get closer to the meaning of technical terms. In this case having done a bit of googling and thinking, maybe my suggestion helps to go in the right direction. I hope.
