Swedish advanced reactor developer Blykalla and Norwegian energy company Norsk Kjernekraft have formed a joint project company to deploy a small modular reactor (SMR) in Svalbard, aiming to deliver clean and reliable energy to Norway’s remote Arctic archipelago.

The initiative marks the first concrete step in a broader plan to expand SMR deployment across Norway, addressing growing demand for stable, emissions-free power in regions with limited infrastructure, said a statement by Blykalla.
