R1
13 July 1954 Sweden's first nuclear reactor, r1, was started in a reactor hall built directly under KTH. Considering that it lived over 40 000 humans within a 1 km radius of the reactor it was probably one of the worst locations possible to choose. However, the radiation dangers to the public were considered negligible at the time. Having the reactor close to Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien (the Academy of Engineering Science) and the politicians was considered more important, as Sweden was perusing a nuclear weapon program. The reactor was finally shut down 1970, but some parts of it still remain.Noted Royal Institute of Technology alumni
