In the coming 20-30 years Swedish energy demand will increase. This increase is estimated to be inbetween 50 and 260%. As a result of this electrification new fossil free energy alternatives must bedeveloped and built. One possible solution to this increase in demand is the implementation of smallmodular reactors which have a smaller footprint than tradition nuclear reactors and can therefore beproduced and installed where necessary. One crucial aspect to small modular reactors is their use ofmodular construction, which is a prerequisite for making the project be cost effective. Three maincategories were identified: project planning, transport, and assembly were deemed central in successfullyimplementing small modular reactors.To answer the question this work poses: What is the current status of the Swedish construction industry’sability to build economically competitive SMR, an online questionnaire was sent to the seven largestSwedish construction firms. The questionnaire included questions based upon modular constructionresearch, the construction firm’s identified role in SMR-projects and an interview with the chief of researchand development at one of the largest Swedish construction firms. The conclusion is that the Swedishconstruction industry, according to the findings in this paper, does not meet the necessary criteria withinthe two factors, standardisation, and degree of modularity. When reviewing other factors such astransport and assembly, the findings pointed towards the Swedish construction industry having a goodability to implement SMR. Because the Swedish construction industry, according to this paper, does notmeet all the factors deemed critical for the construction of competitive SMR, the paper finds that theconclusion is that the Swedish construction sector has insufficient ability to construct SMR in aneconomically competitive way.
