Swedish nuclear company Kärnfull Next has announced plans for a campus of small modular reactors (SMRs) on the Swedish coast, which will power data centers.

The company plans to build the campus at a site in Nyköping, on the east coast of Sweden, where nuclear software firm Studsvik currently operates test reactors. It is planned to come on stream in 2030.

DCD has asked Kärnfull for more details, including the type of data center partners the company hopes to engage with…………………………………………

​The company is still checking on aspects such as financing, permitting, and the possibility of power purchase agreements with power off-takers, and expects to finalize some decisions on all that towards the end of 2024……………………………………………………………. https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/nuclear-powered-campus-in-sweden-will-power-data-centers/
