All microwave receivers, not just the thermal receiver, count as a thermal source for generators even if they don't produce thermal power as they have a MicrowavePowerReceiver module that implements IThermalSource. This can cause issues if node attached to a generator. It should do a check for MicrowavePowerReceiver isThermalReceiver = true.

It seems causing problems about heat radiators too. A heat radiator only works when the microwave receivers on the same vessel is closed. When they are open, the radiator's temperature calculation is replaced by thermal source's, i.e. microwave receiver's temperature, and just accumulate WASTEHEAT, Because the microwave receiver is cool but count as hottest thermal source.

I think the author want it to be that way so that WASTEHEAT can be turned into usable energy source to drive a generator. Maybe we need a better calculation model for waste heat and temperature other then the current temperature = pow ( wasteheat, 0.25).

Sounds like that should be a seperate issue.
