The Technical Programme of HOTLAB 2027 will be published in the Spring 2027
Technical Tour
Studsvik Facilities, Nyköping

Studsvik Tech Park – Ph. Studsvik
The technical tour will offer an insight into Studsvik’s hot-cell facilities, located approximately 100 km south of Stockholm. The facilities support the examination and testing of nuclear fuel and reactor materials and components, covering applications across the nuclear fuel cycle, from fuel qualification and plant life extension to dry storage and final repository. The tour will showcase a range of specialised capabilities, including concrete, lead and steel cells for advanced nuclear fuel, material and mechanical testing, autoclaves simulating LWR environments, and chemistry laboratories for fuel and structural materials analysis. Participants will also learn about the remote handling, testing, and analytical methods used in hot-cell operations, as well as the associated approaches to transport and waste management.
