BS>From international nuclear industries fair; Basel, Switzerland (16 Oct 1972). Although the present status of the boiling water reactor is one of proven technology, design refinements and technical innovations are still being made to further improve reliability, economy and safety. The new standard ASEA- ATOM BWR features a number of such refinements and design improvements involving main circulation punips, containment design, refuelling system and off-gas treatment plant. In some respects the nuclear and hydraulic design of the ASEA- ATOM BWR differs from that adopted by other BWR manufacturers. Since the Oskarshamn I plant was the first nuclear power station having these features an extensive physics and hydraulics test program was made during the reactor start- up. The results of these tests have fully confirmed the ability of calculation methods to predict the behavior of the reactor. (auth)
