Oskarshamn Nuclear Power Plant

Oskarshamn Municipality, Sweden

The 610th largest power station in the world

1.4 GW · Capacity

The Oskarshamn Nuclear Power Plant is one of three active nuclear power stations in Sweden. The plant is about 25 kilometers (16 mi) north of Oskarshamn, in Simpervarp directly at the Kalmarsund at the Baltic Sea coast and with one active reactor, producing about 10% of the electricity needs of Sweden. All reactors were built using BWR technology. Unit 1 had an installed output of 494 MW and Unit 2 664 MW; these are now decommissioned. Unit 3, the newest reactor block at the facility, has an installed output of 1,450 MW. Clab, the temporary storage facility for spent nuclear fuel from all Swedish reactors, is also located at the site.
