| 2. | Chapelcross had four Magnox reactors capable of generating 60 MWe of power each.
|
| 3. | When Chaplecross was fully operational its four Magnox reactors produced 194 megawatts of electricity.
|
| 4. | The plutonium was apparently sourced from the military Magnox reactors at Calder Hall or Chapelcross.
|
| 5. | Chinon A1 used vertical fuel channels, as did the British Magnox reactors, and a steel pressure-vessel.
|
| 6. | The U . S . government fuel-grade plutonium, typical of that produced by low burn up magnox reactors.

| 7. | The radioactive isotope is a byproduct of the reprocessing of spent fuel from Britain's first generation of Magnox reactors.
|
| 8. | The splitting process created a separate company in 1996 called'Magnox Electric'to hold the older Magnox reactors, later combined with BNFL.
|
| 9. | In 1971, problems with corrosion of mild steel components in the first generation Magnox reactors gave the designers cause for concern.
|
| 10. | The Magnox reactors used natural uranium fuel ( in magnox alloy'cans') within a graphite core, and were cooled by carbon dioxide gas.
