Ringhals AB and Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB each issued an Urgent Market Message (UUM) to the Nord Pool power exchange yesterday morning about the potential risk of Ringhals units 3 and 4 and Forsmark units 1, 2 and 3 being unable to restart following scheduled outages - in 2024 (F2), 2025 (R3-4, F3), and 2028 (F1) - because of a lack of storage space for used nuclear fuel.

The UUMs from Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB and Ringhals AB noted that this situation is an indirect result of the Swedish government s slow handling of an application to construct a final repository for used nuclear fuel, which also contains an application to extend the intermediate storage facility, Clab. This slowness is despite the fact the Swedish nuclear industry has for decades been making financial contributions to a special waste management fund for the construction and operation of both the intermediate and final waste storage facilities.
