Marviken NPP

[lars.persson@ssi.se]

Dear Lars,
One of the reasons that Marviken was never started was its anticipated
positiv void coefficient and instability in transient situations. See e.g:
Nuclear Applications, Vol. 3, Oct.1967, Frigyes Reisch et.al. ......The
Dynamic Behavior of the .......Marviken Boiling Heavy-Water Reactor.
Marviken was converted to oil firing but was very seldom used as such.
Later it was extensively used for non nuclear experiments for nuclear
safety research purposes.


Yours sincerely:
