- Swedish nuclear technology company Blykalla has announced plans to apply for permits to construct six small modular reactors (SMRs) in Norrsundet, Gävle, by the year 2026. According to CEO Jacob Stedman, the goal is to commence production within the next ten years, marking a significant step forward in Sweden’s nuclear energy landscape.
- This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the country’s energy capabilities. Small modular reactors are designed to be more flexible and efficient compared to traditional nuclear power plants, potentially addressing both energy demands and environmental concerns. Blykalla believes that these reactors can play a crucial role in supporting a sustainable energy future for Sweden.
- Stedman emphasized the importance of this project not only for Gävle but also for the national energy grid. With a focus on safety and innovation, Blykalla aims to contribute to the transition towards cleaner energy sources. The company is currently in the early stages of planning and anticipates that the application process will begin in 2026.
