SMR projects advance as part of Sweden’s nuclear efforts
Developers in Sweden have announced advancements for two reactor projects. Lead-cooled small modular reactor developer Blykalla is proceeding with the permitting process for its proposed SMR park in Norrsundet in the Gävle Municipality after conducting initial assessments to confirm that the site is suitable.
Meanwhile, SMR developer Kärnfull Next has submitted the first application under Sweden’s new Act on Government Approval of Nuclear Facilities, for a proposed SMR campus in the Valdemarsvik Municipality.

Using a Monte Carlo technique and recent double-differential measurements, a reevaluation of the 9Be(n, 2n) reaction has been completed. This evaluation is currently available for use in the most recent evaluation of the Evaluated Nuclear Data Library and will be used in ENDF/B-VI. Calculations have been carried out with these data, and implications for neutron multiplication in beryllium fusion reactor blankets are discussed.
