Sweden-based small modular reactor (SMR) developer Blykalla and German multinational KSB have formed a partnership to develop specialised pumps for Blykalla’s Sealer nuclear power plant technology.

Blykalla said the partnership marks a significant step forward in the development of next-generation nuclear reactors because it contributes to a strong, strategic value chain for industrial development of key components.

Under the collaboration, Blykalla and KSB will design, develop, and manufacture pumps capable of operating in liquid lead environments.
