Reaktorien

Reaktorien is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun reaktori, meaning reactor. It is used to indicate possession or relation to more than one reactor, similar to the English phrase "of reactors." The form appears in technical, policy, and academic texts discussing multiple reactors.

Common usages include phrases such as reaktorien määrä (the number of reactors), reaktorien turvallisuus (the safety of reactors), and reaktorien suunnittelu (the design of reactors). The genitive plural helps link the dependent noun to the subject being described, for example in assessments of output, safety standards, or regulatory considerations affecting several units.

Morphology and usage notes: In Finnish, many nouns ending in -ori take the genitive plural ending -ien, yielding reaktorien. This is a standard grammatical pattern and does not change the meaning beyond indicating the relation to multiple reactors. The corresponding nominative plural is reaktorit, and the genitive singular is reaktorin.

Context: Reaktorien occurs primarily in discussions about nuclear or research reactors, energy policy, safety analysis, and comparative studies of reactor fleets. It is a linguistic form rather than a separate technical term, used wherever the subject is plural reactors and their attributes.
