Progress made in the beginning of 2008
This picture shows an overview of the Milena as it is at the moment. Most work now focusses on the wiring and soon the functional test can start.

Construction of the Milena 800 at ECN
On the 21st of November the Milena arrived. The basic engineering and detailed engineering was done by ECN-E&S. The different segments were constructed at Zijlstra B.V. in Friesland. The construction was coordinated together with HoSt. On the truck the three major parts of the reactor vessel are visable.
Some parts were transported through the front door. This did take some effort, however it was all transported succesfully inside.
Some parts were just too large so they had to be lowered in through the roof. On the picture the insert is being lowered into the reactor vessel.
The last part to be attached is the bottom which fixates the riser and contains the nozzles for the combustor.
