Vattenfall begins pilot study on construction of small modular reactors at Ringhals
Electricity consumption in Sweden is expected to increase rapidly over the coming decades and, for this reason, Vattenfall is working actively to find out how different fossil-free energy sources can satisfy the increased demand for electricity. As part of this work, Vattenfall is now initiating a pilot study looking at the conditions for building at least two small modular reactors (SMRs) adjacent to the Ringhals nuclear power plant."We will need all fossil-free energy sources to meet the increasing demand for electricity in Sweden. SMR is a fossil-free technology that has come a long way
