It seems, that Olkiluoto 1 still has the Norsk-data machines. They will change
those next year, so they might still keep all that hardware in stock for some
time until block 1 is also modernised.
If someone likes to save equipment, doc's or photoos, its time to act now...
(too far away for me...)
BTW, back in the seventies I was working for a large finnish company that build
(parts of) the security shutdown system of the Lovisa npp. They also build the
npp-operator's training simulator and I remember that it was using several big
Eliott computers from UK. What happened to them? I mean Eliott, not N...a
