NUKEM and UNS dismantle final RPV at Sweden’s Oskarshamn
Germany’s NUKEM Technologies Engineering Services GmbH (NUKEM), in partnership with Uniper Nuclear Services GmbH (UNS), has successfully completed the dismantling of the fourth and final reactor pressure vessel (RPV) at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant in Sweden. The work was done as part of the UNNU Consortium, which since 2020 has been dismantling Sweden’s four RPVs—two at the Oskarshamn site and two at the Barsebäck nuclear plant site.
