Scalable, flexible and reliable

Scalable, flexible and able to provide consistently high load factors, SMRs are emerging as an important technology for a reliable, low-carbon energy system.

In this episode of Industry Optimized, host Fran Scott speaks to Jacob Stedman, CEO of Blykalla, and Elova Ryegard, Nuclear Expert, Energy Industries at ABB. Together they discuss what a low-carbon future might look like, how SMRs can complement both renewable and conventional nuclear energy sources and why they’re increasingly seen as a practical pathway to expanding low-carbon energy capacity.

ABB and Blykalla collaborate on small modular nuclear reactor technology in Sweden

ABB and Swedish nuclear energy company Blykalla have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop advanced nuclear reactor technology, with the aim of supporting Sweden’s efforts to produce clean and reliable baseload energy. The collaboration will initially concentrate on constructing an electrical small modular reactor (SMR) pilot facility near the coastal town of Oskarshamn, approximately 340 km south of Stockholm, to test proof of concept before expanding to future plants.
