Nuvia, a VINCI Construction Subsidiary, Secures Major Contract for Ringhals Nuclear Plant Decommissioning in Sweden

(IN BRIEF) Swedish energy company Vattenfall has awarded Nuvia, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, a significant contract to undertake the dismantling of units 1 and 2 at the Ringhals nuclear power plant in Sweden. This comprehensive project, scheduled to run from 2025 to 2031 and involving up to 400 personnel, encompasses the removal, inspection, and sorting of radioactive and other materials within the reactor buildings. Nuvia Nordic AB, a subsidiary of Nuvia, has been actively involved in several nuclear dismantling initiatives in Sweden, including the dismantling of a primary circuit in 2022. The Ringhals plant, situated on Sweden’s western coast, has been a significant electricity producer, and its reactors 3 and 4 continue to provide approximately 12% of the country’s electricity supply.

(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 2-Feb-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Swedish energy company Vattenfall has awarded Nuvia, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, a major contract on its programme to dismantle units 1 and 2 of the Ringhals nuclear power plant in Sweden.

Nuvia will remove, inspect and sort the radioactive and other materials currently inside the reactor buildings. The works will be carried out from 2025 to 2031 and involve up to 400 people.

Nuvia, which is active in Sweden through its subsidiary Nuvia Nordic AB, has taken part in most of the country’s nuclear dismantling projects so far. In 2022, Nuvia had already won the contract (lot 5) to dismantle the large elements of the primary circuit of one of the plant’s two units.

The Ringhals plant is on Sweden’s western coast, about 60 km south of Gothenburg. It produced 220 TWh of electricity between its commissioning (1976) and the final shutdown of unit 1 (2020), equivalent to the city’s total electricity consumption over the same period. Ringhals’ reactors 3 and 4 continue to supply about 12% of the country’s electricity.
