German term or phrase: Folgereaktoren
Bislang ging die Personalplanung der KWU für die nächsten Jahre von der Annahme aus, daß Zitter-Projekte wie die Folgereaktoren im Iran tatsächlich in die Orderbücher kommen. Betriebsratschef Julius Busch, gleichzeitig Vize des Aufsichtsrats, hält von Prognosen nun gar nichts mehr. Aus gutem Grund: "Wir müssen doch bekennen", findet Busch, "daß wir planungsunfähig sind."

subsequent or follow-on reactors
Explanation:
My instinct is that this isn't a technical term as such, but a description of the timing of these particular reactors. It's hard to say without seeing the chronology of the rest of the text, but research suggests that KWU were involved with building nuclear reactors in Iran which were cancelled as a result of the Iran-Iraq war.
