Studsvik applies to build more reactors; Sweden seeks majority control of SMR company
New developments in Sweden’s nuclear energy industry continue to make headlines. Last week, Swedish engineering services firm Studsvik submitted an application to build between 600 MWe and 1,400 MWe of new nuclear power capacity “at and around” its Nyköping Municipality headquarters. Separately, the Swedish government is looking to acquire a majority ownership stake in Videberg Kraft AB.

USNC-Technologies (USNC-Tech) is an advanced nuclear company focused on developing space nuclear power and propulsion systems to enable high-impact science missions and the growth of a self-sustaining in-space economy. As a subsidiary of Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC), USNC-Tech has leveraged the technologies and experience gains from the design, licensing, and deployment of terrestrial gas-cooled reactors for these space systems. The result is a family of reactor concepts and designs with shared technology bases able to meet near-term and long-term customer needs in the space arena. Key examples include the Pylon surface fission power reactor, the Ready 2 Demonstrate Technology On Orbit (R2DTOO) nuclear thermal propulsion reactor, and the chargeable atomic battery radioisotope heat source.
