Member for conducting excess heat away from heat sources

Should a radioisotope-powered engine (e.g. a Stirling cycle engine for generating electricity) stop working for any reason, the radioisotope heat source will continue to generate heat. This will result in a rise in temperature which may cause overheating of and possible damage to the engine as well...

Zusammenfassung:	Should a radioisotope-powered engine (e.g. a Stirling cycle engine for generating electricity) stop working for any reason, the radioisotope heat source will continue to generate heat. This will result in a rise in temperature which may cause overheating of and possible damage to the engine as well as to the heat source itself.
