===Derating to reduce corrosion===
In early operation it was found that there was significant oxidation of mild steel components by the high temperature carbon dioxide coolant, requiring a reduction in [[operating temperature]] and power output.<ref name=lynceans-20160521>{{cite web |url=https://lynceans.org/all-posts/farewell-magnox-1956-2015/ |title=Farewell Magnox: 1956 - 2015 |last=Lobner |first=Peter |website=The Lyncean Group of San Diego |date=21 May 2016 |access-date=1 June 2021}}</ref> For example, the [[Latina Nuclear Power Plant|Latina reactor]] was derated in 1969 by 24%, from 210{{nbsp}}MWe to 160{{nbsp}}MWe, by the reduction of operating temperature from {{convert|390|to|360|°C}}.<ref name=inis-1989>{{cite journal |url=https://inis.iaea.org/search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:20085903 |title=Operating experience with the Latina Magnox reactor |last=Volterra |first=E. |website=IAEA |id=IWGGCR-19 |year=1989 |access-date=1 June 2021}}</ref>
