Vinci has announced that the Swedish energy group Vattenfall has awarded its subsidiary Nuvia a major six-year contract for the dismantling of units 1 and 2 of the Ringhals nuclear power plant in Sweden.

Nuvia will be responsible for dismantling, controlling and sorting all materials, including radioactive materials, present inside the buildings of the reactors concerned. The work, scheduled to run from 2025 to 2031, will involve up to 400 people.

Located south of Gothenburg, the Ringhalsa power plant generated 220 TWh of electricity between its commissioning (1976) and the final shutdown of unit 1 (2020). The other two reactors - Ringhals 3 and 4 - still account for around 12% of the country's electricity production.
