Our offerings include Project Management, Dismantling, Radiation Protection, Decontamination, Radiological Free Release, Sorting, Packing and Recycling

Our dedicated team operates throughout Sweden and across Europe.

Project Management

We manage general contracts and provide expert Project Management Services for dismantling and demolition.

Our Project Managers have experience in the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and possess extensive knowledge of construction machinery. They are well-versed in handling regulatory requirements for nuclear installations.

Radiophysics

Ionizing radiation is present in several operations, and with that comes an obligation to protect personnel, the public, and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation. We offer services to ensure that your procedures are approved, practical, and in compliance with legislation.

We perform ISOCS measurements, radiation measurements, and provide analyses and evaluations of radiation data. We support with plans and implementation of radiation protection measures.

We can assist with risk assessments and incident management in radiation-related events, and we can also assist with documentation matters.

Radiological Free Release

To minimize radioactive waste and increase the recycling rate, effective radiological free release processes are needed.

We know the regulations that govern the radiological free release process. We offer services in measurement technology and can assist you with procedures and the execution of the radiological free release of materials and facilities.

Construction Machinery

NKR has a modern fleet of machinery and experienced machine operators for the demolition of both conventional and nuclear facilities. We have machinery for both small and large contracts.

Recycling

Radiological free released material should be recycled as much as possible. We know the recycling industry, and we are happy to purchase your cleared waste.

Reference project

Dismantling of Condensers

Oskarshamn and Barsebäck, Sweden

At O1 and O2, located on the Simpevarp Peninsula near Oskarshamn, and at B1 and B2, located on the coast in Skåne, NKR dismantled Condensers.

The Condenser is a component tasked with condensing steam. The Condensers consist of titanium tubes, with each Condenser containing 35,000 titanium tubes. A total of 120,000 titanium tubes were dismantled.

Surrounding systems such as heat exchangers, pipelines, and high-pressure turbines were also dismantled.

In total, 5,000 tons of steel were dismantled.

The work was carried out during 2021 and 2022, taking approximately 18 months at each site.
