I’ve had the chance to teach anatomy and physiology at the nursing program in Varberg. Today was my last lecture. The weather was perfect, so I hopped on my offroad-thumper and started the motorcycle season.
On my way home I took some detours on smaller roads, enjoyed the scenery and listened to Eros Ramazotti on my iPod. After a while I saw a sign to Ringhals - Sweden’s largest powerplant. Exciting. I wasn’t really in a hurry, so I stopped and had a look.
Powerplant, powerbike.
Ringhals is powerplant with four nuclear reactors. The reactors are cooled with seawater - 160 000 liters each second! Apparently, the outgoing cooling-water is 10 degrees warmer than the incoming. This means there’s a small sea bay just outside the powerplant that is almost 10 degrees warmer than the “normal” sea temperature!
Bay with coolingwater
Unfortunately I had no towel or swimmingpants, but my hands and feet can verify that the water really was warmer. Next monday I will go down to Varberg again (to pick up the exams) - this time with towel!
Stay tuned for a report of what “Ringhals bathing” is like!
P.S. Photos today are taken with a simple SonyEricsson mobile phone.
P.S. 2 I realize I’m getting older 
Five years ago a lack of towel certainly wouldn’t stop me from a short swim…
OK, en liten fråga: Om man badar där, kommer man upp självlysande då?? Det vore annars en liten kul twist på det hela. Vi vill gärna se resultatet då.
Kul att du startat en blogg förresten! Jag läser och tittar på kort med nöje. (Det är tur att ni har Samme när ni ska ta kort…
