Company Overview

Studsvik AB is a well-established and renowned provider of advanced technical services and solutions to the global nuclear power industry. With a legacy spanning more than 75 years, the company stands as a unique, independent partner dedicated to enhancing safety and efficiency within the nuclear sector. Its operations are critical not only for the future development of nuclear power but also for the continued operation and life extension of existing reactors worldwide.

The company’s overarching mission is “Innovating Nuclear Sustainability.” This strategic focus is driven by the recognition that nuclear power is a vital component of the global transition toward fossil-free energy production. Studsvik positions itself as an enabler of this green transition, providing the expertise and technology necessary to ensure that nuclear processes—from new construction to final disposal—are conducted safely, economically, and sustainably.

Studsvik offers solutions that reduce both risks and costs for nuclear facilities and for the management of radioactive waste material.

The operational scope of Studsvik is comprehensive, covering the entire lifecycle of nuclear facilities. This includes services for new build projects, ongoing reactor operations, decommissioning of shut-down plants, and the final disposal of nuclear materials. The customer base is diverse, comprising nuclear power plants, fuel vendors, research centers, public agencies, authorities, and other nuclear facilities. In addition to the energy sector, Studsvik is also engaged as an expert in other radiological areas, including the production of medical isotopes for healthcare applications.

The company leverages 75 years of experience to solve complex problems, employing approximately 540 people across seven countries.

Innovation, reliability, and leadership are the cornerstones of Studsvik’s business philosophy. The organization is undergoing a digital transformation to streamline activities and save resources, thereby creating more room for value-generating efforts. By combining deep industry expertise with unique facilities and extensive external networks, Studsvik creates customized, flexible solutions that meet the specific needs of its clients.

Business Segments

Studsvik operates through four primary business areas, each targeting specific needs within the nuclear lifecycle. These segments are Decommissioning and Radiation Protection Services, Fuel and Materials Technology, Scandpower, and Waste Management Technology.

Decommissioning and Radiation Protection Services

This segment is the largest contributor to Studsvik’s revenue stream. It provides a broad range of services essential for the maintenance and dismantling of nuclear facilities.

  • Revenue (2024): SEK 373.3 million
  • Share of Total Revenue: 42%
  • Operating Profit (2024): SEK 19.6 million
  • Operating Margin: 5.3%

The business area focuses on radiation protection, decommissioning, dismantling, decontamination, and engineering services.

The operational scope covers the entire decommissioning process. This ranges from initial feasibility studies, planning, and project management to the practical execution of radiological assessment, dismantling work, radiological clearance of materials, and waste documentation. The segment serves customers primarily in Germany, but also has a significant presence in Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

A key strategic focus for this segment is expanding its position in decommissioning, with particular emphasis on radiological clearance and measurement technology. The segment actively collaborates with internal units, such as Waste Management Technology, to perform on-site free-release measurements using proprietary equipment. It also partners with selected external organizations to manage complex decommissioning projects, combining expertise and capacity to benefit customers.

Fuel and Materials Technology

This segment serves as a critical research and testing hub for the global nuclear industry. It leverages Studsvik’s unique facilities in Sweden to perform advanced testing and analysis.

  • Revenue (2024): SEK 327.1 million
  • Share of Total Revenue: 37%
  • Operating Profit (2024): SEK 8.1 million
  • Operating Margin: 2.5%

This business area offers services in nuclear fuel qualification, material analysis, research on final disposal, and the packaging of medical isotopes.

Operations involve testing nuclear fuels and the metallic materials that constitute a nuclear reactor. The segment performs calculations and simulations of the extreme conditions these materials endure during operation, including high pressures, temperatures, and irradiation. This work contributes to more economic operations and heightened safety within the industry.

The segment is deeply involved in life extension programs for existing reactors and the development of new reactor types, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). It also plays a role in the healthcare sector through the production and packaging of medical isotopes. Despite production challenges in the second and third quarters of 2024, the segment ended the year with strong order intake and production planning.

Scandpower

Scandpower is a world leader in software solutions for fuel optimization and reactor analysis. It is known for its high-margin, intellectual property-driven business model.

  • Revenue (2024): SEK 179.9 million
  • Share of Total Revenue: 20%
  • Operating Profit (2024): SEK 30.6 million
  • Operating Margin: 17.0%

Scandpower offers software and engineering services to support nuclear power plants, fuel manufacturers, and authorities.

The core offering includes software for nuclear fuel management and nuclear engineering analyses. This software is used to manage and monitor the nuclear fuel cycle in more than 150 light water reactors globally. The tools utilize the laws of physics to model real geometry while requiring simplified input data, which reduces the potential for human error and improves engineering performance.

Development primarily takes place in the USA, with sales offices in Europe, the USA, Japan, and China. The segment is actively preparing for the future of nuclear energy by developing tools for next-generation reactors, including SMRs and Advanced Reactors. This includes the development of new software products like the Peacock 3-D Continuous Energy Monte-Carlo software.

Waste Management Technology

This segment focuses on innovative technical solutions for the treatment and volume reduction of radioactive waste.

  • Revenue (2024): SEK 32.3 million
  • Share of Total Revenue: 4%
  • Operating Profit (2024): SEK -5.8 million
  • Operating Margin: Negative

The segment offers licensing of technical solutions to stabilize and reduce the volume of radioactive waste before intermediate and final disposal.

The offering includes advanced engineering services and technologies that optimize customers’ radiological programs. Key technologies facilitate the treatment of problematic wastes, such as ion exchange resins and mixed organic wastes. The segment’s strategy involves licensing these technical solutions along with related engineering services to customers in Europe, North America, and Asia, enabling clients to run facilities themselves.

A significant development in 2024 was the commissioning of a demonstration facility for the patented inDRUM technology. This facility has generated substantial interest by proving the technology’s ability to handle difficult-to-landfill waste with minimal manual handling.

History and Evolution

Studsvik’s history is intrinsically linked to the development of nuclear energy in Sweden. The founding of the company more than 75 years ago marked the beginning of the Swedish nuclear energy program. Since its inception, Studsvik has been synonymous with innovation and forward-thinking in the radiological sciences.

For over 75 years, Studsvik has created value for the entire nuclear power lifecycle, from new construction to final disposal.

Throughout its history, the company has evolved from a national research center into a global commercial entity. It has consistently adapted to the changing needs of the energy sector, expanding its capabilities in materials testing, software development, and waste management.

In recent years, the company has navigated a changing perception of nuclear power, which is now widely viewed as essential for a sustainable climate transition. This shift has driven Studsvik to reinforce its role as an industry expert and research hub.
