What is happening at KSU?

Improve training with graphical simulators

Security is the top priority in any company and organisation that works with nuclear power. That also means, however, that it might not always be easy for people outside of the nuclear field to get a glimpse into what we do. At the CET conference in September, we organised a site visit to KSU's training unit in Simpevarp outside Oskarshamn and invited seventeen participants. Our Nuclear and Simulation Senior Specialist Engineer, Antanas Romas, welcomed the visitors on Thursday afternoon and introduced them to KSU's academic simulators (PSIM), Part Scope Simulator (DSIM), Severe Accident Simulator (HSIM) and Full Scope Simulator (FSS).

Innovative game sparks STEAM interest among young students

Over the past 16 weeks, we've had the pleasure of hosting five talented and driven interns from Campus Nyköping. They are all studying System Development with a focus on .NET. Their dedication and hard work were showcased during the Technology Days in Oskarshamn, where OKG proudly presented the new main control game our interns have been developing. 

Meet and get to know our trainee, Elise Johansson!

She is currently partaking in Vattenfall’s International Trainee Programme and will be working at KSU as Business Developer.

PRESS RELEASE 2024-03-08: Collaboration for new nuclear power and fossil freedom creates new working opportunities

The key to succeed in the ongoing energy transition is through collaboration. KSU and Blue Partner are successfully collaborating with the goal of developing a new nuclear power in Europe focused on Small Modular Reactors, SMR. In the upcoming week, experts from both companies will gather in Västervik for further professional training.

Change – a natural ingredient

In October KSU was assigned to present their work on the subject “CHANGE” at the Vattenfall BA Generation Management Conference. KSU showed how change is a natural ingredient in the continuous work toward our vision of delivering world class nuclear training, giving examples from the Past, Present and Future.

Appreciated supervisor training for nuclear power employees

KSU is known as an excellent provider of nuclear power-specific training for Vattenfall. A couple of years ago, a number of areas and courses were identified to be owned and run by KSU within 2 years. One such area was supervisor training.

Our new graphical simulator increases process understanding

As a supplement to KSU's full-scale simulators, we are developing new simulation environments, currently in Ringhals at R34.

An opportunity to minimize the amount of radiation dose

Working in the nuclear industry can include being exposed to ionizing radiation in different environments and areas.

Technology and training facility – an opportunity for the nuclear power industry

At our training facility Technology and training centre, TTC, there are today unique opportunities for training in an art-like environment. Although the world around us is becoming more and more digital, there is a great need for practical training and expertise in the construction, function and collaboration of components in a technical process. A simple question like: "Which way do you turn to open a valve?" is not so simple anymore.

KSU – Key partner to develop future training for SMR

KSU are one of the key partners to GE Hitachi developing the Global Training Programme for the SMR, BWRX-300 platform.

Heads-up for new e-modules in Waste & Decommissioning

At KSU, we provide training in many subject categories, ranging from operational personnel of nuclear power plants to waste and decommissioning.

KSU’s new headquarters inaugurated

We are the ones who develop SMR training

KSU is currently future-proofing its competence and is working with a reactor supplier to develop a future training program for their SMR. The team is continuously growing as we’re recruiting more people who want to work with SMR Training.

MoU with Norsk Kjernekraft

We are delighted to announce that we have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Norsk Kjernekraft. This strategic collaboration signifies our mutual commitment to competence building in the field of nuclear technology and safety. We look forward to a fruitful partnership that elevates industry standards.
