Ringhals
Ringhals nuclear power plant is the largest power plant in Scandinavia. We are situated on the west coast of Sweden, 60 kilometres south of Gothenburg.
Ringhals has four reactors - three pressurised water reactors and one boiling water reactor. In a normal year, Ringhals generates some 28 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. This is approximately one fifth of Sweden’s total electrical energy consumption.
The safety demands on our nuclear power plants are very strict. We are continually at work on developing and improving safety. In addition, the safety culture and safety work represent important aspects of staff training.
We are investing for the future so that our power plants can generate power even more safely and in an environmentally better way. This will enable both reactor safety and reactor output to be increased, at the same time as we are modernizing the reactors and extending their useful life.
All forms of electricity generation affect the environment in some way. Nuclear power is virtuall free from acidifying and climete-affecting emissions. At Ringhals, we are continually working to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.
