  • KTH’s Nuclear Energy Engineering students excel

    In October, three students from KTH were honored with the prestigious Sigvard Eklund Prize for the best Ph.D. and BSc theses in Nuclear Engineering in Sweden for 2024.

  • SEK 99 million to small lead-cooled nuclear reactors

    Researchers and industry in Sweden are working closely together to realise fourth generation lead-cooled nuclear power plants. Testing and preparatory work is in progress at KTH ahead of production of the reactors of the future. “We are delighted with the Swedish Energy Agency decision to award research and development grants of SEK 99 million for the next step – construction of an electric powered test plant in Oskarshamn,” says KTH Professor Pär Olsson, coordinator of the Sunrise Research Centre.

  • Driving fossil-free industry with next-gen nuclear energy

    KTH researchers are working to help heavy industry transition to fossil-free operations. A new initiative in nuclear technology focuses on next-generation reactors to provide efficient electricity and, more importantly, industrial heat.

  • KTH-led Nuclear Materials Platform receives 40 million SEK in funding

    KTH has received funding for a new extensive project in nuclear energy technology. The platform for nuclear materials, NuMaP - Nuclear Materials Platform, receives about 40 million SEK from the Swedish Energy Agency. KTH will receive 17 million SEK.

  • Milestone for lead-cooled reactors

    This week, Oskarshamn was the scene of an important step for nuclear power with the start of construction of an electrically heated prototype for a future nuclear reactor. The company Blykalla and KTH researcher Janne Wallenius, who is developing solutions for cooling reactors with lead instead of water, are among those behind the project. However, the prototype will neither produce electricity nor be loaded with nuclear fuel.
