Germany
Studsvik's activities on the Continent are based in Germany. Most of the sales take place there and in neighbouring countries that have nuclear power. The contracts are mainly performed on-site at customer facilities, and there is a growing
element of consulting work.
Business overview
The business concentrates on the decommissioning of redundant facilities and the provision of consulting services for nuclear power plants still in operation. The segment has just over 600 employees, or almost half of the Group's total head count. The services provided comprise:
- Decommissioning
- Service and maintenance
- Health physics services
- Engineering and consulting
- Other consulting services
From its base in Germany Studsvik serves customers in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. All of Germany's nuclear power plants are customers of Studsvik. In addition, Studsvik provides services for research institutions, universities, and fuel manufacturers.
The contracts are mainly carried out on the customers' premises and the German company's only facility consists of a technical workshop where many of Studsvik's methods and systems have been developed,including a method for cutting tubing from the inside as well as Studsvik's system for the decontamination of surfaces in buildings.
Germany's last nuclear reactor is to be closed down by 2021, according to the nuclear industry's agreement with the government. A number of reactors have been shut down and initial dismantling activities have begun. Waste from the German market is treated in the Swedish waste treatment facility, after which stable, volume-reduced waste is returned to the customer. This service is reported in the segment Sweden.
