Sweden-based nuclear technology company Studsvik has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nordic energy company Fortum to explore the possibility of new nuclear at the Studsvik site outside Nyköping in southeast Sweden.
Studsvik said it wants to support the climate transition and in the long term sees the possibility for new nuclear power at its site, south of Stockholm, either in the form of commercial reactors, research reactors or a combination of both.
Studsvik said its role will be to make land available and contribute with its expertise. It would not to build or operate nuclear power plants on its own.
