Sweden should establish an organisation that can oversee its ambitious plans for the deployment of large-scale nuclear reactors and small modular reactors (SMRs), the country’s national coordinator for the expansion of nuclear power has said in his first report to the government.

Carl Berglof said the new organisation would manage activities and resources common to several nuclear power projects.

“As a minimum, the state should define a project sponsor that ensures the progress and achievement of the nuclear power projects,” Bergdorf said.

He said the exact plans for the organisation will primarily arise after the state’s financial responsibility for new-build projects has been clarified.
