R4 nuclear reactor

Norrköping Municipality, Sweden

The 2367th largest power station in the world

132 MW · Capacity

R4 nuclear reactor was a nuclear reactor built at Marviken, Vikbolandet and the fourth nuclear reactor built in Sweden. It was heavy water moderated and intended for the dual role of 130 MWe of power generation as well as plutonium production. It had a central role in the Swedish nuclear weapon programme. During the mid-1960s, the social democratic government officially abandoned the project of designing Swedish nuclear weapons and the Marviken plant became derelict. It was never loaded with fuel, and the project was cancelled in 1970.
