Today, on May 16th, Minister for Energy, Business, and Industry and Deputy Prime Minister, Ebba Busch, visited Studsvik to discuss Sweden's future need for a new Swedish national nuclear program to succeed in the green transition.
Alongside CEO Camilla Hoflund and Chairman of the Board Jan Bardell, among others, Ebba Busch discussed Sweden's need for more electricity and Studsvik's contribution to the government's Roadmap for New Nuclear Power in Sweden. Studsvik is a location and a business with opportunities to establish a Swedish and international hub for nuclear research and innovation for new nuclear power.
Studsvik may also potentially make land available for new nuclear power plants, with ongoing pre-studies with private stakeholders already in progress.
During the visit, the Minister was given a guided tour of Studsvik's fuel testing laboratory. The laboratory is the only one of its kind in the Nordic region and the world's only privately-owned facility, playing a crucial role in meeting the nuclear industry's needs for fuel qualification and investigations into the lifetime extension of nuclear power plants.
