JEEP I (also written as "JEEP1") was Norway's inaugural nuclear reactor, a heavy water research reactor with a power output of 400 kW. Operational from 1951 to 1967, it marked a significant milestone in the country's nuclear research history. JEEP I was a collaborative effort between Norway and the Netherlands, with the Netherlands providing the uranium and Norway supplying the heavy water.
... let's reflect: why might archive references for JEEP I be important? Could they help us understand early nuclear safety standards, international collaboration, or technological advancements? From our findings,
we see JEEP I was among the first reactors globally, suggesting its archives could be valuable for historical and scientific study.
EEP I operated for 16 years (1951 to 1967). Its power output was 400 kW, or 0.4 MW.
JEEP I was able to produce approximately 0.8 kg of plutonium in its lifespan.
