en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swedish small modular reactor (SMR) developer Blykalla has submitted an application to the government to build a nuclear power plant with six SEALER reactors in Norsundet, Gävle Municipality, with a total installed capacity of 330 MW. The site leverages existing port and industrial infrastructure, aiming to address regional power shortages with predictable baseload electricity.

This application will initiate a comprehensive multi-agency review process involving the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise, the Land and Environment Court, and the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority. The government will focus on assessing whether the facility meets requirements for handling nuclear materials and nuclear waste, while Gävle Municipality must also concurrently approve the related plans. Blykalla estimates that if the approval process proceeds smoothly, the commercial-scale plant could be operational in the first half of the 2030s.

The Swedish government recently passed new legislation to streamline the nuclear power approval process and set a target of building new capacity equivalent to at least two large-scale reactors by 2035. Blykalla's application represents another substantial step forward in Sweden's nuclear power revival under the new framework, following Kärnfull Next.
