1. A reactor unit comprising:
a reactor;
a cooler that has an interior through which a coolant flows and that cools the reactor through radiation of heat to the coolant, the cooler having a reactor cooling surface that is one of outer surfaces of the cooler, the reactor being mounted on the reactor cooling surface, and the reactor having a first surface facing the reactor cooling surface and a second surface that is a surface located opposite the first surface;
a metal plate that covers the second surface and that is thermally in contact with the reactor cooling surface;
a first heat radiating member having an elastic force and including a gel material, the first heat radiating member being arranged between the first surface and the reactor cooling surface; and
a second heat radiating member having an elastic force and including a gel material, the second heat radiating member being arranged between the second surface and the metal plate, wherein
the second heat radiating member has a heat conductivity higher than a heat conductivity of the first heat radiating member.
