Kärnfull Next Re:Firm South programme: candidate SMR sites in Karlshamn, Motala and Västervik

Kärnfull Next (acquired by Studsvik in March 2026) runs a south-Swedish SMR siting programme, Re:Firm South. Beyond its published Valdemarsvik and Nyköping records, it signed landowner agreements for pre-studies at Elleholm and Guö-Köpegårda (Karlshamn) and Stora Askö (Västervik), and a conceptual-study agreement with Motala municipality. Motala says no decision to build has been taken.

Not a deployment project. SMR plans, agreements, studies and government programmes that are not (yet) a single deployment project. They are listed separately and are never counted as projects or reactors.
