Blykalla

Our Head of Legal Thérèse Burman is nominated as one of Sweden's Power Women of the Year by Kraftkvinnorna. 👏 Not only is she shaping the future of nuclear with her work on regulatory changes, streamlining national licensing, and advising the government on new nuclear power - she’s also the colleague we all turn to for a good laugh and support. We couldn’t agree more with this nomination. Thérèse, you're a true powerhouse! 🌟 #blykalla #smrs #cleanenergy

We're happy to welcome Jonas Ulfvin to the Blykalla team! Jonas joins Blykalla as Building Design Lead. With 24 years of experience in structural engineering at Sweco, Jonas brings valuable expertise from sectors including mining, paper & pulp, and nuclear technology. His work on key projects like European Spallation Source ERIC in Lund and Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB in Oskarshamn showcases his commitment to nuclear engineering excellence. At Blykalla, Jonas will apply his extensive project management skills to advance our SMR development, addressing critical energy challenges for remote industrial locations. We look forward to Jonas's contributions as we continue our journey toward building Sweden's first advanced reactor 🚀⚡ Read more about Jonas here: https://lnkd.in/d4Eje6gg #blykalla #smrs #cleanenergy

Last week, Blykalla's CEO, Jacob Stedman, and CFO, Mikael Fraenkel, enjoyed a couple of energizing days at the San Francisco TECH WEEK by a16z. Needless to say, thinking big is part of the San Fransisco DNA. As one of our US-based investors put it – "Replacing fossil energy is $6 trillion opportunity with a majority that should be replaced by nuclear" ↗️ ⚛️ In addition the growing climate and deep tech community, more and more large VCs are moving into the space, reflecting the need for innovation and industrial technologies to solve the most pressing challenges facing the world. 🌍 A big part of the conversation is focused on how to build out AI infrastructure, and power that infrastructure with clean energy. Nuclear, and in particular advanced reactor technology, is central to solving that – and we’d expect even more discussions and investments in this direction following this week's announcements from Google and Amazon to commit to advanced SMR build outs in the US. We look forward to continuing the nuclear renaissance and achieve something transformative together. Let's build some reactors 🙌 #blykalla #smrs #cleanenergy

As highlighted by Dagens Industri, the groundbreaking research on lead-cooled reactors from KTH Royal Institute of Technology is positioning Sweden at the forefront of fourth-generation nuclear technology. ⚛️ Key benefits of this technology include: 1️⃣ Potential to reuse nuclear fuel, extending current reserves for hundreds of thousands of years 2️⃣ Dramatically reduced waste storage timeframes 3️⃣ Compact, factory-buildable reactors opening new possibilities for nuclear energy deployment This is the research that Blykalla's SEALER builds on, and we're happy to have a strong collaboration with this impressive academic institution.
