Nuclear Reactors
All three reactors are boiling water reactors (BWRs). As of 2006, the maximum output for Oskarshamn 1 and 2 is 495 MW (O1) and 625 MW (O2). The most recent reactor, O3, will be upgraded from 1,200 MW to 1,450 MW in 2009. OKG estimates that O1, O2, and O3 combined account for ten percent of the total electricity generation in Sweden.

Famous quotes containing the word nuclear:
“The problems of the world, AIDS, cancer, nuclear war, pollution, are, finally, no more solvable than the problem of a tree which has borne fruit: the apples are overripe and they are falling—what can be done?... Nothing can be done, and nothing needs to be done. Something is being done—the organism is preparing to rest.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
